- Lyme’s Disease

Our courses are delivered by Roy Hopkins who is a NUCO Trained & Registered Instructor and is also ex-Forces and ex-Fire Fighter. Roy has also worked in Forestry for many years. He successfully takes his interest in First Aid beyond work and volunteers as a Community First Responder for the Kent Ambulance Service and brings a practical on-the-ground forestry perspective with a particular focus on remote working considerations.
