British Association of Ski Patrollers

This weekend 16 (out of 26) BASP Trainers gathered together at Bridge of Allan for their annual Trainers weekend. It was a very sucessful weekend, we all learnt a lot and we met some new faces in the team. Since last year Lynne Warden, Mark Chadwick and Robin Saxby have joined us, Lynn has already reached full trainer status and Mark and Robin have just started their training. The weekend was very ably lead by our Chairman of the Training Committee, Andy Dalton - thanks Andy. These weekends are very valuable because they ensure that we all sign from the same song sheet on the BASP courses and any new Guidelines and practise is discussed to ensure everyone understands what is expected and should be taught. In July we will have all our Defib training units undated and will be available to teach AED training using the new UK Resuscitation Council Guidelines, as our Trainers have been updated on the new protocols.

We are currently discussing the new proposed changes to the HSE First Aid at Work courses and will be looking at the other course that we run already. We will keep everyone up to date with changes as and when they occur, this will be sometime after September 2007.

We are also rewriting our manual and this will be available in 2007.

If you are a Trainer maybe you would like to add your comments here.

If you are a member of the public do you have your favorite Trainer and why? We would love to hear from you if you do.
