Our 
Story

At ARK Medical Solutions we pride ourselves in delivering personalised professional courses by “instructors that do the job, not just teach it”.

Our instructors don’t just hold a training qualification, but are experts in their field. Only instructors with previous or active emergency service experience are able to deliver our courses. We do this to ensure the best course possible for our clients, maximising learning opportunities and knowledge sharing. This sets us apart from the majority of first aid providers.

Unlike other providers all ARK trainers are serving, or have served, as 999 personnel bringing a wealth of experience and real life exposure to the classroom. Our on-site courses involve active participation and elements are reconstructed to make it as realistic as possible and cement learning.

At ARK Medical we are happy to accommodate bespoke requests for our clients and tailor our courses towards your business or individual needs. We can advise and recommend courses that meet your legal requirements, risk assessment, or own learning objectives.  

 

ARK instructors experience and current roles within the Police and Ambulance Services mean we have first-hand knowledge and understanding of their operating procedures. This places our courses in the unique position of educating candidates and familiarising them with the roles and responsibilities of the emergency services, and how you can assist them. We have a strong working relationship with the emergency services and can transfer this knowledge in our course delivery.

ARK medical was founded by two close friends and emergency service colleagues at the end of 2023. ARK Medical aims to deliver First Aid to individuals, businesses and organisations that meet their needs and offer bespoke first aid equipment management. We want First Aid to be available to all, enjoyable for all, learned by all.

The Benefits of Workplace First Aid Training

Accidents and emergencies can occur unexpectedly, particularly in the workplace. Whether it’s a slip, an injury, or a serious medical situation, having employees trained in first aid is crucial and part of your Health and Safety compliance. This article highlights the importance of first aid training and why companies should consider investing in a First Aid course with Ark Medical for their staff.

Providing first aid courses and training in the workplace offers several advantages. One of the most significant is the potential to save lives. In a medical emergency, having trained employees can be the key factor between life and death. Quick, effective first aid can prevent situations from worsening and ensure that the injured individual receives necessary care until professional help arrives.

Additionally, workplace first aid courses and training can lessen the severity of injuries. Employees equipped with first aid knowledge can respond swiftly and effectively, preventing minor injuries from escalating. By administering immediate care, trained staff can stabilise the injured person and reduce the risk of complications. Preventing injury through First Aid training reduces sickness and employee absenteeism.
 
Ark Medical's first aid training fosters a safer work environment. Employees who are knowledgeable about first aid are more vigilant regarding potential hazards and can respond appropriately to emergencies, helping to prevent accidents and injuries from occurring.

Beyond saving lives and minimising injuries, workplace first aid training can enhance employee morale and confidence. Having the skills to handle emergencies empowers employees and boosts their confidence in managing challenging situations, contributing to a more positive workplace atmosphere and a stronger resilient team dynamic.

In summary, the advantages of workplace first aid training are evident. By equipping employees with essential skills to handle emergencies, companies can save lives, reduce injury severity, create a safer work environment, and enhance employee morale. Investing in a First Aid Course with Ark Medical Solutions is more than meeting your legal obligations, but also brings significant collateral benefits. BOOK NOW
