The Medical Wing’s Hostile Environment Medics (HEMs) course is designed to take our clients to a standard that is required of the modern Close Protection Operator. You will be taught the skills associated with rapid assessment, stabilisation and transfer of both the trauma victim and those suffering a medical emergency.
Our course has been developed by medical experts in conjunction with seasoned Close Protection operators, and is designed to prepare you for medical emergencies that you may experience in high risk and hostile environments. Our course is fully recognised by the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
The five day approved course is for those requiring extended skills. The training includes both theoretical lectures and practical sessions, designed to develop a good, all round a Close Protection operator.
