Surviving Adventure

Prometheus Medical is the provider of the Surviving Adventure Course designed for career breakers, gappers and backpackers.

The courses

Whether you are a seasoned adventurer or first-time traveller seeking something a little more challenging, Surviving Adventure equips you with the skills necessary to prepare for your trip of a lifetime.

The Surviving Adventure™ course has been designed to give individuals with little or no medical experience, the confidence and understanding to manage an emergency medical situation when travelling off the beaten track or in a remote environment. The course runs over two days and aims to give an understanding of how to react to and manage a medical emergency.

Surviving Adventure is high energy and very 'hands on' and, once the practicals and initial lectures are complete, the course progresses to a series of fully realistic exercises. These are designed to give first-hand experience of what an emergency situation feels like, and how to manage one from start to finish. Key to the whole course is the fact that each and every lecture and scenario is presented by a medic, mountaineer or former Special Forces member who has encountered such a scenario first hand.

Surviving Adventure meets the first aid training requirements for the Mountain Leader qualification (MLTE).

The course is located in Herefordshire, England and is based in Prometheus’ residential training facility, which sits in 11 acres of its own grounds. Group bookings at other locations can be arranged where there is sufficient demand.
