Stewart: Outstanding day. A very deep dive into treating more serious first aid conditions where a doctor is not at hand. The day gave me real confidence and practice into a range of health conditions. What seemed daunting – fixing a dislocated shoulder and suturing – felt doable in an emergency by the end. Great teaching, including demonstrations from Dr Gael and his daughter. Highly recommended.
