Christchurch first aid course

[JMemonic]

I have just gotten off the phone with the nice folks at St Johns discussing a motorcycle specific course for us, we can have a maximum of 18 people attending it will be a 4.5 hour course, and we can either have it on a Saturday morning or one evening, the course cost total is about $835 including, thus if we can get a full 18 it will work out to about $46 each.

They will cover off
CPR
Bleeding
Neck, and Spinal (including helmet removal)
Head immobilisation
Fractures.

To some of you this will be old hat, but so what practice, practice, and more practice cant hurt, neither can training.

I need numbers folks.

I would do it so long as the date works for me.
When is good? Well, next year sometime. Weekend probably better, but not a long weekend... although now I think about it, I can probably manage doing an evening if that's the way it goes.

Im in, pending confirmation of date.

[Retroqueen]

I could do with the refresher!! so count me in and as soon as you have a date let me know and I'll calender it....

[Flip]

Count me in little buddy.

[Spuds1234]

If the date and time is good, or I have plenty of notice I will be there with bells on.

Did you try Red Cross as Well? they might be able to do you a good deal as well.

[Blackbox]

Yep, depending on date...

[McWild]

What is the $835 price tag made up of?
I'm very interested but damn, that's not cheap.

Edit: Whoopsy, thought that was each. Would love to take part haha.

I did think of Red Cross but my preference is St Johns, primarily as they are the folks who attend motorcycle accidents. We have the opportunity to learn from experienced folks in the know, Red Cross run excellent courses in industrial first aid etc but this is being geared towards motorcyclists.

Who knows perhaps we can gear up a training programme that other centres might run with, anyone got any contacts with ACC locally to see if we cant get a little sponsorship there?

I guess you could say that CR

I'm keen. Any evening is generally fine, weekends will depend on the date.
