A series of first aid courses designed for businesses and private groups will take place in Brighton later this month.

The courses, at the Sackville Hotel on Hove's Kingsway from August 21 to 24, are designed to combine theoretical and practical work.

They will be run by Remote Trauma, a company set up by former medical Royal Navy commandos Alex Bohanna and Grant Wootton with a team of professional instructors.

Mr Bohanna said: "We intend to have a practical first-aid exercise using casualty simulation make-up and five casualties outside on the green opposite the hotel."

Delegates will qualify for the Health and Safety Executive first aid at work certificate.

A limited number of free places are available for representatives of charitable organisations.

For details on the four-day course, contact Mr Bohanna on 0208 274 1137.
