This programme combines technical theory with rigorous practical application to ensure students can manage crises effectively when every minute counts. The curriculum is divided into six comprehensive chapters that take the learner from basic anatomical understanding to the complex management of trauma in remote settings.

The Humanitarian Emergency Remote Medical (H.E.R.M) First Aid programme is a specialized training course designed for individuals operating in environments where professional medical help may not be immediately available. Grounded in the belief that first aid is a vital humanitarian act, this course empowers members of the public and workplace responders to provide life-saving care without discrimination, fostering resilient communities worldwide.

The Aims of First Aid: Understanding the primary goals: preserving life, preventing further injury, and promoting recovery.

• Anatomy and Physiology: A foundational look at the human body to better understand how injuries affect vital systems.
• General Casualty Management: Mastering the "Primary Survey" and the use of the recovery position to stabilize patients.
• The Medical Casualty: Recognition and treatment of non-trauma emergencies, including shock, choking, epilepsy, and seizures.
• The Trauma Casualty: Technical skills for managing bleeding, head injuries, and other physical traumas.
• Transportation of Casualties: Safe methods for moving injured persons in remote or humanitarian environments.

• Typical Duration: 2 to 3 days of intensive training.
• Structure: Includes theoretical classroom sessions and practical "hands-on" simulations to replicate real-world humanitarian and remote emergencies.

Type: H.E.R.M First Aid Competency Certificate.

• Alignment: Designed to meet international humanitarian standards and workplace first aid requirements.
• Assessment: Learners must pass a final theoretical test (covering the 10 key domains of shock, trauma, and medical recognition) and demonstrate practical proficiency in life-saving techniques.
