About your Trainer

Ron Gemmell has been leading walking parties in the British hills and mountains for over thirty years, holds a ML (Summer) certificate and has regularly led parties on multi-day walks in remote mountainous areas. He has been a scout leader for over thirty years and involved in youth work in general since 1980.

The REC courses are therefore framed with ‘mountain leading’ in mind, taking on board the experience of hundreds of ‘hill days’ – with a real working knowledge of what it’s like to deal with real first aid incidents that thankfully only rarely happen!

In addition to being a first aid trainer, Ron provides the first aid support for local organizations (including small event cover) and has previously worked as a self-employed mechanical engineer in the water industry. With over thirty years of experience working in both offices and on sites throughout the UK he has considerable knowledge of the kind of workplace accidents that can occur.
