Whether you're a recreational cyclist, club rider or part of a cycling organisation, knowing how to respond to an emergency can make a real difference. This practical one-day course provides the knowledge and confidence to manage common cycling-related injuries and medical emergencies until professional help arrives.
Throughout the day, you'll learn how to assess and manage a wide range of incidents that cyclists may encounter on roads, trails and organised rides. Training begins with the foundations of first aid, including scene safety, initial casualty assessment, recovery position techniques and understanding barriers such as gloves and face shields. Particular attention is given to road safety considerations and how to protect both yourself and the casualty at the scene of an incident.
Practical CPR training forms a major part of the course. Participants learn adult and child CPR techniques, chest-compression-only CPR, AED awareness and how to hand over resuscitation duties when a second rescuer is available. Cardiac emergencies, including heart attacks, are also covered to help learners recognise warning signs and respond appropriately.
Further modules focus on injuries and illnesses commonly associated with cycling accidents. Training covers bleeding control, embedded objects, fractures, sprains, strains, burns, eye injuries, dislocations and chest injuries. You'll also learn how to identify and respond to head injuries, spinal injuries and strokes, giving you a broad understanding of how to manage casualties while waiting for emergency services to arrive.
Courses can be delivered at your workplace, cycling club venue, community facility or suitable home location. This flexible approach allows groups to receive professional first aid training in an environment that works best for their schedule and requirements.
Training is available throughout Buckinghamshire and neighbouring areas, including Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Amersham, The Chalfonts, Buckingham, Milton Keynes, Tring, Berkhamsted, Hertford, St. Albans, Oxford, Watford and Northampton. Sessions can be arranged for businesses, clubs, organisations and private groups.
No previous first aid experience is required to attend this course. The training is suitable for cyclists of all abilities, from occasional riders through to experienced club members and event organisers.
Active participation in practical exercises is encouraged throughout the day. Instructors provide guidance and support to help learners develop confidence in applying first aid skills effectively.
Led by experienced frontline medics, training combines recognised first aid qualifications with practical emergency response knowledge gained through years of real-world experience. Learners benefit from realistic examples and instruction focused on situations they may genuinely encounter.
Every course is designed to be engaging, informative and hands-on. By combining theory with practical exercises, participants leave with skills that are easier to remember and apply when faced with an emergency.
Cyclists can find themselves in situations where immediate assistance is needed following a collision, fall or medical emergency. Having first aid knowledge can help stabilise a casualty and provide reassurance while waiting for professional help.
