GP ‘Good Samaritan’ Course
What we Aim to Achieve
What is our Good Samaritans Course?
“Is there a doctor on board?”
A sentence that puts trepidation in the hearts of many doctors, yet most of us would step up to help in a medical emergency. But should we? Must we? Do we have the skills? Would our medical insurance cover us? These are some of the questions posed and answered in our Good Samaritans course.
This one day course for GPs uses a mix of simulation based training and outdoor workshops to enable us to reconnect with colleagues, hone our professional skill base and act appropriately as a Good Samaritan.
If you are interested in booking this course for your residents or GP colleagues, or would like more information, please contact us here.
What you will gain: CPD and Beyond
Endeavour courses always deliver high-quality teaching. Teaching is led by experienced professionals in the field. It is immersive, holistic, and flexible to help all attendees meet their personal development goals.
All courses are directly aligned to the professional capabilities set out within UK Foundation Training and postgraduate specialty training curricula. Specifically, all courses cover clinical assessment and prioritisation, address complexity and uncertainty, communication skills, holistic planning, fitness for practice (well-being), ethical and legal principles, health promotion, illness prevention, and leadership.

What you will learn
Active participation in these workshops is entirely voluntary. You can watch and observe, or push yourself outside your comfort zone in a supported environment.
-
You are the first on scene to an RTA on a busy road with two cars involved. One casualty has a possible pelvic injury, the other an upper limb fracture. Explore how to manage the scene, prioritise tasks and treat initial injuries.
-
You are in a remote country pub with friends. A worried village member has run inside stating their friend has collapsed outside.
We will discuss how to assess casualties outside of hospital, BLS and the use of AEDs.
-
While mountain biking with friends, you find a teenage boy who has come over the top of his handlebars. He is confused and complaining of neck pain.
In this workshop we will discuss C-Spine injuries and tools we can use to safely move casualties. We will then practice packing and moving casualties with neck injuries.
-
Through scenarios, you will learn the stages of hypothermia, the 1:10:1 rule, how to rewarm conscious and unconscious casualties, and drowning considerations.
You will learn mechanisms of heat illness, how to treat casualties and manage medical emergencies in remote environments.
