NEW! Wilderness First Aid Provider course

After many requests to develop a shorter version of the Wilderness Emergency Medicine course for entry-level health care workers in SA, I have come up with this one-day version of the WEM's course to serve just that purpose. I am hoping to get this accredited for at least 8 CPD / CEU points and to position it as a more affordable introduction to wilderness medicine.
