Team members can expect to find casualties with a range of injuries including fractures, head injuries and frost bite. Casualties can also be found exhausted, dehydrated and hypothermia is a serious risk in winter. For this reason all team members are trained in emergency first aid in mountain conditions. The team provide first aid cover for charity mountain events like the Great Wilderness Challenge and the Highland Cross.

Emergency equipment is carried in all the team vehicles and team members are trained to use oxygen, entonox (pain relief gas), cervical collars, airways, vacuum mattresses, stretchers and splints.
All this equipment is frequently carried into the mountains in emergencies.

To maintain skill levels using up-to-date casualty management techniques, team members must be sent on residential training courses.
