Initial First Aid will be provided by the Group Leader. Attending School Staff will be included / consulted as appropriate and required. Parent/guardians will be consulted / advised as appropriate and required. 

In the event of a student requiring further medical assistance, Somerset will access care through Hawkesbury District Hospital, local private medical practices, private hospitals or ambulance if required. Somerset Base Camp is located 30km from Hawkesbury Hospital with a typical response time of 30 mins to/from Base Camp. However, as many of our activities and expeditions are conducted away from Base there may be significant delays until additional medical assistance is provided.
