Get equipped with skills needed to control life threatening bleeds in single and multi casualty incidents.
The number 1 cause of preventable death after injury is bleeding, which is the most treatable result of trauma. It's because of this fact, and from the widespread increase in civilian shootouts, and mass casualty terrorist attacks, that bleed control courses were developed.
​
Civilians can be the difference between life and death, by simply acquiring the basic skills to stop bleeds, they can be empowered to save lives, going from bystanders, to immediate responders.
The Bleed Control course equips participants with the skills needed to control life threatening bleeds in both single and multi-casualty incidents. The focus is on treatment methods and equipment accessible to the general public.
​
The course is geared towards civilians, and individuals who have a greater than average chance of encountering injuries where heavy bleeding occurs, and professional medical assistance is not immediately available. such as law enforcement, private security, workplace emergency response team personnel and staff at large events, campuses or large occupied buildings.
