Annual update · live online or in person
Keep the capability current.
A structured refresher for teams that have already completed practical FieldSafe training. Revisit deterioration, retreat-specific judgement, escalation, team roles and lessons from real incidents without pretending a video call replaces hands-on competence.

FieldSafe annual refresher
Independent specialist FieldSafe training. Certificate of Completion; not an EFAW or FAW qualification.
What you get
A deliberate yearly reset for the team you already trained.
The annual update is designed to maintain recognition, judgement and team coordination between full practical courses. It does not replace practical renewal.
Best for
Teams that completed FieldSafe Essentials, Retreat Response or FieldSafe Ready and want a structured update around 12 months later.
FieldSafe training is designed for lay teams. It supports recognition, first response, escalation and team coordination rather than diagnosis.
What you’ll refresh
Give the whole team the same questions.
The update revisits the same FieldSafe questions the team already knows, using current scenarios and recent experience to sharpen decisions.
Is it resolving?
Reassess rather than assuming improvement.
Is it safe to stay?
Think about trajectory, monitoring capacity, environment and access to definitive care.
Altered state or deterioration?
Use retreat context without allowing it to explain everything away.
What you’ll work through together
Refresh who does what before pressure arrives.
Roles drift as teams change. The update revisits emergency communication, access, observation and handover so the response still makes sense for the people who are actually present now.
999 communication
What information matters and who should make the call.
Access & rendezvous
Who meets emergency services and how they are brought to the right place.
Observation
Who remains with the participant and keeps reassessing.
Handover
How to give a concise summary when professional help arrives.
What the update does not replace
An update is not a practical recertification.
The online format deliberately stays clear about its limitations.
No substitute for practical CPR/AED
Hands-on competence requires hands-on practice.
No diagnosis
The purpose is recognition and escalation.
Useful annual maintenance
Designed to sit between full practical FieldSafe courses.
Team consistency
Useful when staff or crew are spread across locations.
Exactly what’s included
Focused, current and tied to the situations your team actually faces.
From £225 per team includes an approx. 90-minute live online facilitated update for up to 15 existing FieldSafe-trained participants, using the core framework, team roles, current scenarios and incident learning.
Build the recognition framework
Agree the red flags and simple observations the whole team should understand when somebody appears unwell.
Walk through retreat scenarios
Discuss deterioration, anaphylaxis, seizures, heat/cold illness and the problem of explaining medical change as “part of the process”.
Agree the first roles
Clarify who calls, who observes, who meets help and what information should be ready for handover.
Price clarity In-person practical updates are available by separate quotation. The live online update does not replace hands-on CPR/AED practice or a full practical FieldSafe renewal.
What happens afterwards
An update is useful because the practical course came first.
The annual update is reserved for existing FieldSafe-trained teams. If a team is new, practical skills are stale, or the last full course was around three years ago, FieldSafe will recommend a full face-to-face programme instead.
Year 0
Complete the appropriate practical FieldSafe programme and establish the team’s baseline capability.
Around 12 months
Refresh deterioration recognition, altered-state decisions, escalation, roles, incident learning and any relevant changes in guidance.
At least every 3 years
Return to a full practical course so CPR/AED, hands-on response and team performance are renewed properly.
Certificate & scope
Clear about what this training is — and what it is not.
Participants receive a FieldSafe Medical Certificate of Completion recording the course completed, date, duration and the learning outcomes and subject areas covered.
This is independent specialist FieldSafe emergency-response training. It is not EFAW or FAW. If your organisation’s needs assessment requires a recognised workplace qualification, that requirement must be met separately through the appropriate pathway.
