Bleeding and Catastrophic Bleeding

If you find yourself with someone who is seriously injured, would you know what to do? This could be a bad accident at home, a road traffic accident, or even someone having been attacked with a knife or shot with a gun.

This CPD Accredited course will go into how to care for wounds - from minor bleeds to catastrophic ones. It is important to take good care of minor wounds, as they can still go septic - sepsis kills 52,000 people in the UK last year.

With major bleeds there is the risk of someone imminently bleeding out - and you can learn how to make a difference! Please do not do what you see them do in films or tv series - you'd be killing the person even faster...So learn how to take care of those wounds, and how to deal with catastrophic bleeds by joining us for this training session.
