Steve Peacock on the ex-army medics who are teaching people in rural communities to use battlefield first aid to survive the long wait for an ambulance to arrive.

Farms are well known to be dangerous places and the countryside in general is not a good place to have a serious accident because you could be a long way from your nearest paramedic. But help is at hand from a group of ex-army survival experts who are putting the the medical skills they learned on battlefields from the Falkland Islands and Afghanistan into practice on farms and country estates. Steve Peacock joins one of their training courses to find out how to survive a serious accident when the ambulance is more than an hour away.
