First Aid Response (FAR)
In-depth training for designated workplace first aiders with practical scenario integration and clear escalation standards.
Rathmore trusted PHECC accredited first aid training provider supporting businesses, schools, sports clubs and organisations.
Rathmore is a small town in County Kerry, "lying immediately west of the border with County Cork," with a 2022 population of 766. The town splits into a commercial centre and an administrative area called Rath Beg. A Cadbury chocolate crumb and condensed milk plant opened in June 1948, once supplying a third of Cadbury's UK milk needs. The Mallow–Tralee railway line runs through Rathmore, with its station opening on 1 December 1854. The town lies in the Sliabh Luachra area known for traditional Irish music. First aid training in Rathmore needs to support food production, the Sliabh Luachra music community, and the wide rural catchment.
Local context: Rathmore employers include the former Cadbury plant (now part of Mondelēz via the broader Kerry Group interface), the local primary school, the parish church, the Sliabh Luachra musicians' network, and the rural services that connect the village to Mallow and Killarney. Course scheduling typically focuses on the late-winter and spring windows.
Course selection in Rathmore should be based on role responsibilities, incident likelihood and existing internal capability. A primary consideration is whether your team needs full responder development, focused CPR confidence or integrated safety support that includes manual handling.
