The blog gives us a chance to highlight some of our work but also other things that we get up to at Avium.
Awesome day providing first aid cover for The Cairngorm adventure Triathlon 2018 based at Loch Morlich.
The ‘CAT’ is a 3km canoe, 25km bike and 5km run. Fantastic locally run event supporting local athletes.
We had a mobile team out on the Sluggan pass, which followed the main body of competitors round as they completed the bike and run sections. We also had a team based at the beach and the finish area.
Along with all our Event Medical Cover going on just now, we've got lots of First Aid Course coming up in Autumn. We've been working with organisations and companies to bring them bespoke Outdoor First Aid Course to suit their exact needs. Below are some examples:
We're working with a utility company who were looking for Remote Outdoor First Aid and Lone worker training for employees who will be working in remote environments in the Scottish Mountains.
Some of our Emergency Rescue Equipment
With our experience in providing medical assistance in the mountains we're teaming up with some local Mountain Guides to provide a bespoke 2 Day Outdoor First Aid course to suit their role. We'll be introducing some equipment and protocols in some more depth for this course to pass on to the attendees some of our knowledge gained from Mountain rescue and Ski Patrolling in the Cairngorms.
CPR Training for estate workers
Our popular Rural workers Outdoor First Aid Course will be back this Autumn when we'll be providing the course for two of our local Estates. Our instructors have close links with local estates so we have a great understanding of the work and nature of the task undertaken by the employees, this helps us to deliver a course that is applicable to their roles and the type of first aid incidents they may come across.
Snowsports First Aid Course
With all our courses being taught by full time Ski Patrollers who better to learn first aid from for Snowsport coaches and Instructors. We'll cover our full 2 day outdoor syllabus and go into more detail about snow related injury and illness, such as, lower leg fractures, knee injuries, hypothermia and avalanche resuscitation protocol.

Avium are providing medical and safety cover for the Cairngorm section of the Starman Night Triathlon, hosted by True Grit Events.
The event comprises of a 1.2mile swim in Loch Morlich, 56mile bike around Speyside and finishing up with a 13mile run up Cairngorm and Meall a’ Bhuachaille and then back to the beach at Loch Morlich.
A busy time for us just now, last sunday we were providing the Medical Cover for Aviemore Triathlon and this weekend we'll be taking care of the Medical and Safety Cover for the Cairngorm section of the Starman Night Triathlon.
We set up at @badaguish at 8am and went down Loch Morlich to cover the swim section. The loch was calm, and a balmy 17degrees!
After the swim, the competitors hopped on their mountain bikes and looped the Glenmore forest, with some gnarly single track at the top of badaguish.
Lastly, the run. They headed up towards the Sluggan pass and finished off back at the event hub at Badaguish.
Another awesome event by Durty Events , well done to everyone who took part!
