What is wilderness first aid?

Wilderness First Aid (WFA) is a specialized form of medical training that prepares individuals to handle medical emergencies in remote or outdoor settings where professional help may be delayed. The training covers essential skills such as patient assessment, treatment of injuries and illnesses, and improvisation with limited supplies. It is designed for outdoor enthusiasts, guides, camp staff, and anyone who spends time in areas far from immediate medical assistance. Completing a WFA course equips you to respond effectively to emergencies in the wilderness and can be a valuable asset during outdoor adventures.
