simply first aid
As director of Simply First Aid, Piers Osborne has taken on this exciting role
after years of preparation. Having started in the leisure industry, working with
children and babies, he moved to education where he spent 9 years lecturing on a
range of further, higher and community education courses for the Sports, Early
Years and Community Studies departments. He left this role to get out of the
class room and into informal education through outdoor activities. Almost since
it’s inception Piers has been a member of Cornwall Search and Rescue Team
helping to prepare it’s medics as the Medical Training Officer. He had the
privilege to work with some extraordinary people until a relocation forced him
to step down. He was also a member of Metropolitan Caloundra Surf Lifesaving
Club and Watergate Bay Surf Lifesaving Club and an active member of the Scout
Movement. As well as specialising in outdoor and wilderness first aid he
continues to specialise in paediatric first aid and education. Over the years
Piers has worked with a number of First Aid training providers, including the
Red Cross, Royal Life Saving Society and St John Ambulance, to deliver First Aid
and Casualty Care across Europe and Australia. Screenshot 2019-01-22 at
17.53.57.png Dominic Osborne With a background in emergency medical response,
security solutions and both pool and beach lifeguarding, Dom was a perfect
choice for Simply First Aid! He has over 15 years experience and was responsible
for the Metropolitan Caloundra beaches for a number of years. During this time
Dom was responsible for the ongoing development of all the beach personnel. As
such he wrote and delivered bespoke training solutions and linked training to
the Australian Professional Ocean Lifeguards Association scheme. Dom provides
our Quality Assurance and continues to deliver training when required. He is as
comfortable behind a desk as he is being lowered into shark infested seas from a
rescue helicopter! He has long since left the world of lifeguarding behind and
now provides both medical and security solutions for mine sites, race meets and
the like. Dom has recently been to conferences on the East and West Coasts of
America in order to secure opportunities for the ‘Event Medics‘ side of the
business. He has competed in the Australian Open Iron Man, his 3rd ever
triathlon, and was an elite cyclist. When not training, you’ll find him spending
time with his family and ‘staying salty’! Moving and handling doughnuts.jpg

enjoys using the word "Awesome" or "Awesomness!" throughout his sessions (He
does not know that it is not even a word, so when you see him just humour him).

aid easy, practical and fun.
