| Jimmy Synnott | Jan 15 2010, 10:01am | Calling on all would be fist aiders this your last chance to get a free three year certificate in this area. The certificate that you will attain is (Emergency first Aid level 1. Its granted through the Remote Emergency Care Training Series.On attaining this cert you would then have both, the knowledge and understanding of what can go wrong when you are running/hiking in the mountains.Also the expertise to deal with such events.To keep your skills up to date your then have the opportunity to volunteer has a first aid officer at any one,or more of many upcoming race's. Its called giving something back. The feedback on our last two courses have been ,one of worth while,educational and above all very entertaining and enjoyable. So come on give it a go.Its free and we also throw in a free lunch. Once again i would like to thank the committee for their kindness in allowing this course to take place free of charge. CHEERS JIMMY |
| Sandra Coleborn | Jan 15 2010, 12:53pm | Jimmy, what date is the next course on? I would be very interested in doing it if I was around. |
| Eva Fairmaner | Jan 15 2010, 1:11pm | Me too please Jimmy! |
| Geraldine O'Shea | Jan 15 2010, 7:01pm | Hi Jimmy Definitely interested but depends on the date. Many thanks, Geraldine |
| Kevin O'Riordan | Jan 15 2010, 7:46pm | The course is on the 23rd of January : http://www.imra.ie/events/view/tab/details/id/714/ |
| Sandra Coleborn | Jan 15 2010, 8:59pm | Unfortunately I am away until the 31st Jan, but would be very interested in any future First Aid course... |
| Rachel Cinnsealach | Jan 16 2010, 9:29pm | Hi Jimmy, I couldn't make the last two first Aid courses but I would like to do this one if there is space. rach. |
| Jimmy synnott | Jan 17 2010, 10:00am | Hi all. Their are still some places left on this course.This is i am ,afraid the last course of this kind this year.Having all ready held to previously. Also has the certs are good for three years it could well be unlikely ,that we will need to hold any first aid course next year. This will be again up to the committee to decide. So i would strongly suggest that any one interested please sign up for this one. Cheers Jimmy |
| Eoin O'Neill | Jan 17 2010, 11:31pm | Jimmy Can you put my name down for this course? Thanks Eoin |
| Des O'Neill | Jan 20 2010, 8:43am | Jimmy. I was down to attend the first aid on staurday. Unfortunately due to the weather interruptions in the early part of the year I have now been scheduled to do a training day with one of our clients on saturday that I can not defer or cancel so I will not be able to make it to the first aid. Can I do a first aid course in my own time and what type of certification should I be looking for? |
| Jimmy Synnott | Jan 20 2010, 6:27pm | No Problem Des.All basic level one first aid cert will be sufficient.Most will take 10 weeks (night class) or i can also source another one day course if you prefer. Both these options would i am afraid be at your own expense.Any help i can be just drop me a line .Cheers jimmy |

| niamh o ceallaigh | Jan 22 2010, 11:20am | Hi Harry, I am fairly sure it is 9 till 4 with lunch included. NIamh |
| Jimmy Synnott | Jan 22 2010, 5:50pm | Hi all, very last call to get your name down for this worth while course. we have a couple of places left/ Course starts at 9am and will run till 4pm,with a coffee break, and a lunch break.Can all be there for 8.45am to start on time please.See you all tomorrow. Cheers jimmy |
| Jimmy Synnott | Jan 25 2010, 8:50am | Once again the first aid course on Saturday last proved to be a great success.We had another 12 people taking part. This brings the total to 36 imra members in all, who now have a qualification in first aid. On behalf of myself and the said people i would very much like to thank (1) Justin for the use of his premises, with out it would not have been possible to hold these courses.(2) To pat reaid and Jen our instructors over the three course , who along with their knowledge and expertize help inject a sense of fun into the proceedings.(3) Above all to Dermot and his very hard working committee who very kindly made it possible for all to gain our first aid certs free of charge.I think its fair to say €1500 is a tidy little sum(coasts of courses)On A personal note i would like to thank the people who gave up their free Saturday to take part in courses,and wish you all a safe and injury free mountain running season.Hoping to see you all at some stage acting as first aid officers. Put your new found skills to use. Cheers jimmy |
| Shay Foody | Jan 25 2010, 11:15pm | Thanks for organising this excellent course - these are great skills to have for IMRA events (as well as for life in general). One aspect we discussed was the time to get a first aider and equipment to the casualty, which obviously could be quite significant. Would it be worth getting all marshals to carry a first aid kit? As far as I know this is not current practice. Also are checks in place to ensure marshals are carrying a mobile phone with number of Race Director (and First Aider)? |
| Justin O'Keeffe | Jan 26 2010, 10:55am | Thanks to Jimmy, Justin & the folks at Version 1 for organising & facilitating the first aid training on Saturday. It was very good training by Ger and would recommend doing somthing like it if you get the chance again |
| roisin mc donnell | Jan 26 2010, 2:12pm | Just to echo Justin's comment. i thought the first aid course was very good ..practical and well tailored for the needs of a first aid volunteer at a hill race...well done committee and Jimmy for organising ..and thanks to Jen. Roisin |
| Jimmy Synnott | Feb 3 2010, 1:16pm | First Aid certs.Can any one who took part in any one of our first aid courses over the last couple of months please come forward and collect your certs. Will be at the next winter league race this saturday. Please if you are takeng part this weekend let your self be known to me or any of the race officials Cheers Jimmy |
