FIRST RESPONSE • EMERGENCY CARE (FREC 3)
Our First Response Emergency Care (FREC) Workshops are delivered by experienced
instructors with extensive Emergency Care backgrounds. They combine theoretical
knowledge with practical skills training, ensuring participants can handle
real-life emergencies. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including
patient assessment, basic life support, trauma management, and more. These
Workshops are designed for those who have specific responsibilities at work or
in voluntary and community activities to provide pre-hospital care to patients
requiring emergency treatment.
These workshops are not just about learning but about applying what you’ve
learned in real-world situations. That’s why our FREC Workshops include
practical scenarios where participants can practice their newly acquired skills.
This hands-on approach ensures that participants understand the concepts and
apply them effectively when it matters most.
The Qualsafe Level 3 Award in First Response Emergency Care (RQF) covers the
full range of skills required by the HSE for First Aid and is the leading
qualification for events cover. For those with further ambitions, it also forms
the first step towards a career in pre-hospital care.
