First Aid Training Programme
We're based in North  Hampshire and train in pre-hospital care skills once a week on Tuesday evenings at Crondall Old Gymnasium (map) from 8 to 10pm. There are over 20 HFR volunteers, ranging in age from 16  to 70+ who come from Ash, Basingstoke, Baughurst, Bentley, Brookwood, Church Crookham, Farnham, Fleet, Hook, Reading, Tadley, and Wokingham.   Our training is free and is  open to anyone in the local area who  wishes to update their skills, including young people wanting to learn new sklls, local NHS Community Responders, and others that we have previously trained.

Remember to wear: Comfortable clothes and flat footwear and to bring your:  stethoscope, BP kit, first aid manual, and a pen.

HFR volunteers will need to attend at least 50% of the annual training sessions in order to maintain their skills and HFR competency.
Mandatory HFR training is shown in red – HFR volunteers  must attend at least one session on each mandatory topic per year.
This programme may change at short notice  - please check website and email for updates
