Aspen Medical has been contracted by the Department of Defence to deliver the ‘Care of Battle Casualties’ first aid training course to all Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel deploying to the Middle East.
The aim of this training is to ensure that all ADF personnel on operations are confident in their ability to provide care in the deployed environment.
“Aspen Medical is proud to have been chosen as the first aid training provider supporting our troops in the region,” said Aspen Medical managing director, Glenn Keys.
“Aspen Medical acknowledges that this first aid training is an extremely important task and the skills taught to our ADF personnel on these courses will save lives.”
The training is being undertaken at the Al Minhad Air Base in the United Arab Emirates by Aspen Medical medics with recent combat experience.
This contract builds on Aspen’s healthcare training and Defence health experience in support of remote and harsh environments.
