Wilderness First Aid

St. John Ambulance Wilderness First Aid is a comprehensive program for those who live, work and play in the wilderness designed on a National level. This specialized first aid and safety course focuses on how to take care of casualties when medical help is not readily available.

There are three levels of Wilderness First Aid skills training that range from basic to advanced levels. The focus of the course is to adapt First Aid skills as needed, based on the availability of supplies, the environment, and additional factors encountered in a remote setting. This course is intended to complement wilderness survival training and does not replace it.
