Equine Specific First Aid Courses
Please note that these courses are designed to aid humans not horses.
First Aid In The Horse Industry
Training in First Aid is essential for anyone involved in the horse industry whether they be instructors, grooms, competitors, volunteers, fence judges etc. A recognised, up-to-date First Aid qualification is also a pre-requisite for inclusion on the Register of Instructors. General First Aid training can be accessed via the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) First Aid at Work courses. These take the format of an initial four-day course, with a two-day top-up required every three years. However, these courses are very broad in outlook and largely geared towards providing first aid for a wide range of injuries and illnesses that may be encountered in the work- place.
Equine Specific First Aid
In response to industry demands, the BHS are providing Equine Specific First Aid Courses which provide a basic overview of first aid procedures, but with a focus on the injuries that are most likely to be sustained whilst handling and riding horses. This course is appropriate for anyone who is involved in the horse industry, and will provide the basic information on what to do if you are 'first on the scene' of an accident. As with all such training, the emphasis will be on providing appropriate first aid help while professional help is sought.
The BHS Two-Day Initial First Aid Course
This course is for those who have never received any first aid training, or whose qualification has lapsed. Numbers will be limited therefore allowing ample time and opportunity to learn and practice the skills required. On completing the two-day course successful delegates will be provided with an ID card and / or certificate of achievement valid for two years. This must be updated bi-annually by attendance on a one-day refresher course.
The BHS One-Day Refresher First Aid Course
This course is available for those who already hold a First Aid qualification which they wish to update. Bi-annual attendance on a refresher course is a requirement for Instructors wishing to remain on the register unless they hold an up-to-date HSE First Aid at Work certificate. Anyone applying for a place on a one-day refresher course will be required to provide evidence of previous attendance at a First Aid at Work or ESFAC course. If this qualification has lapsed, they will need to attend a Two-Day ESFAC course.
First Aid At Work
It must be emphasised that the HSE First Aid at Work qualification may still be a requirement for employers, proprietors and instructors who have responsibility for other employees or staff on their yard/establishment. If you are in doubt as to whether or not you should hold a First Aid at Work certificate, please contact the HSE for guidance – www.hse.gov.uk
