Hide AdIt is a full day training programme designed to provide people with the basic knowledge, skills and expertise to enable volunteer teams to respond to a callout and act on behalf of an animal’s best welfare interests.


A spokesman said: “On completion of the course you will be added to BDMLR’s Marine Mammal Medic database which is used to alert medics of nearby animals in distress.
"However, even if you do not live by the sea, it is a fun way to learn the correct first aid techniques to help marine mammals should you come upon one needing help.
"The day of the course is a full practical session and runs outdoors so suitable clothing (drysuit [preferred] or wetsuit) will be required. However, before the practical day you will need to complete three online lectures.
