Discover the O.S.C.A.R. course: medical training for adventurous people in remote areas.
Are you out and about in nature a lot? Sometimes off the beaten track? Do you know how long it takes for help to reach you in the event of an emergency? Even in Germany, it can sometimes take 30 minutes for qualified help to reach you in remote places. Decisive minutes that can make the difference between life and death in an emergency.
The term OSCAR (Outdoor Scenario Casualty and Rescue Training) refers to a course format that is specifically aimed at people with an affinity for the outdoors. In two parts, you will learn the basics of self-protection, recognizing and treating critical bleeding, treating broken bones and many other topics. The concept is very practical and takes place where it is applied, in nature. While the foundation is laid in the first part, the second part is the crowning glory. It's not just your medical skills that are improved here.
Goals:
To impart knowledge and practical skills in advanced first aid in order to effectively bridge the time until professional help arrives in remote areas
Target audience:
Adventurous people who are traveling in remote areas and need medical knowledge.
