Wigton Motor Club Runs First Aid Course at the Motor House

Published: 29/04/2022

Twelve members of Wigton Motor Club attended a first aid at work course at the club headquarters, the Motor House, on 23rd April. 

Former paramedic and ambulance crew trainer David Watt shared his knowledge and experiences gained during 35 years as ambulance crew to the event in a relaxed and informative manner. 

The course covered the full range of first aid at work topics giving attendees a comprehensive understanding of how to deal with any situation they might come across not only in the motorsport environment but also in everyday life. 

Practical sessions covered patient management, resuscitation and defibrillator use while demonstrations by David showed in detail how to deal with many different scenarios with real life examples of situations that David had encountered in the ambulance service. 

The club is most grateful to Motorsport UK who very kindly funded the event and also to Mary Parsons who provided first class catering for the group throughout the day. WMC is proud to say that we now have twelve new fully trained first aiders.
