First aid crib sheet
When the unexpected happens on a hillside, it can be difficult to focus on the right thing to do. First aid might need to be administered by any of us and just carrying a kit alone isn't always going to help. A calm approach and knowledge of basic first aid skills will also be needed.
We've produced what we call a 'casualty care' sheet to be tucked inside your first aid kit and read through should the worst happen. It'll prompt you down the DRABC route to the correct procedure for that crucial treatment should you be first on scene. It's based on a more in depth version that Mountain Rescue teams carry and is also useful for recording relevant details and observations. We'd recommend you print it out on waterproof paper and carry a soft pencil to write on it.
