Our Team
Our team of expert First Aid Trainers at HDP Medical Services have worked on the frontline of Ambulance Services at various levels, including the delivery of education. We understand what it’s like to face real emergency situations on a daily basis. As trained medics, we are still active as emergency responders. We draw on real experience to deliver thorough and practical first aid courses and medical training to your workforce.
You wouldn’t get your business advice from a novice, and you shouldn’t get your education from a layman. Our First Aid Trainers can walk the walk, as well as talking the talk when it comes to clinical education! We charge industry standard rates and with our team, you get the real deal. We’re not subcontracted to an umbrella company reliant on inexperienced, hired hands. Most of all, we bring both empathy and humour into the classroom. Get to know your team by using ours to Educate and not just Train!
