Bright Bird combined Services
Remote Medical Support is Bright Birds most comprehensive course as it combines both our Academy, RISK and Health department. We have invested a lot of effort and manpower into supporting our customer with this service so they can feel safe and prepared, when traveling, going on expeditions or work in a deserted area. In order to give the full insight in a typical RMS setup we have described and visualized how the departments contribute to our RMS solution and how our customer can benefit from it.
Joint Department Solution
Our RISK department will advise if there is any anticipated problems or challenges in the area of an expedition, vacation or remote worksite. The Academy department will host the RMS course enabling the customer to perform quality first aid, with Bright Birds medic equipment. Our Health department will support you if an accident occurs with quality advise when contacting our 24/7 Duty Doctor.

Bright Bird have accommodated these considerations and have divided our RMS program up in 3 modules in order to fulfill our customer´s needs for the level of skills that fits the customer.
RMS cours overview
This is our most basic program. It is 1 day of quality hands on education that will give the participant the basic of first aid and a short introduction to Radio Medical procedure. In the course there will be a climate specific content that the participants can choose. The climate zones are Arctic, Maritime and Mountain. The first aid will be of same standard and length but for the climate specific content it will be different depending which climate zone our customer chooses. Per default we recommend the Arctic because the effect of cold is almost present in all terrains and destinations and hence this will be a good general foundation for our RMS modules. The Arctic is also a very demanding climate to operate in and which is mastered there is lots of experiences that can be transferred to other climate zones.
This RMS Fundamental is mainly for participants on expedition that wants basic knowledge of first aid with no specific responsibility to others.
Duration: 1 day of education
