GWO GWO Enhanced First Aid (EFA) Training

The Training

Training overview

Enhanced First Aid goes well beyond the foundation first aid taught in Basic Safety Training. It prepares designated responders to manage a casualty over an extended period in a remote location, using advanced equipment and drawing on telemedical consultation while waiting for professional emergency services.

The training assumes the responder may be operating alone, at distance, and for far longer than a typical first aid scenario allows. It therefore emphasises structured assessment, ongoing monitoring, and the ability to give a concise, useful casualty report when requesting assistance or advice.
