BASICS education and a few other providers would sell him PHEC at
reasonably expensive ( others) to blooming expensive (BASICs education
) prices
Various other providers would suggest various other courses
the TA would wine and dine him/ her offer BATLS , and either fail to
deliver or whip them off to go to sandy places
ATLS - like any other predominately in hospital training doesn't teach
the realities of pre hospital work
The VASes depending on location may be able to offer support, advice,
training, assistance with external training in return for a commitment
to their activties ( thus providing some opportunties for supervised
practice ) , but it's pretty variable between localities , same for
Immediate care schemes ( BASICS or otherwise)
If i remember correctly the FA and /or the rugby bods run a crowd doctor
course
Probably doesn't help a great deal more
