Thursday September 24, 12-1pm in the Wildcat Room. 1 Session, FREE.  Presenters: Kelly Ferguson, RN, Trauma & Injury Specialist.  Studies have shown that the help given by an immediate responder can often make the difference between life and death, even before professional rescuers arrive.  The Bleeding Control Basic Course gives participants the necessary tools to become an empowered initial responder. This course is designed to train individuals on what to do as an immediate responder in a bleeding emergency and covers the ABCs of bleeding as a method to stop an active bleed. The course includes a class presentation and hands-on skills demonstration on tourniquet application, wound packing, and pressure application. At the conclusion of the course, participants will receive tips on how to present the materials, and ways to provide a positive learning experience when teaching a Bleeding Control Basic course will be discussed. Stop the Bleed, originated by the American College of Surgeons, a national initiative, is an awareness campaign and call-to-action.  Stop the Bleed is intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives. Class size is limited.  Sign up today for this FREE session!
