Avocet Medical

Avocet Medical is a nationally accredited first aid and health and safety training provider for companies, schools, institutions and individuals.

About Us

Avocet Medical is based in Fareham in Hampshire but we offer our courses at venues throughout Hampshire and adjoining counties. We have established first aid training venues in Southampton, Portsmouth, Winchester, Chichester, Reading and Basingstoke but we also arrange our first aid course in other venues as required.

All of our courses are delivered in surroundings conducive to good learning, and a variety of media are used to present the first aid and other safey at work subject material. Presentations using PowerPoint are reinforced with videos and practical demonstrations using the latest resuscitation manikins and associated first aid medical equipment. Role-play and casualty simulation form a large part in assessing a student's progress during a course. We supply each student with all the necessary first aid or other course materials.
