Stop the Bleed…Until Help Arrives
Free Trainings at Portsmouth Public Library
Portsmouth Regional Hospital presents two free trainings at the Portsmouth Public Library! Stop the Bleed aims to empower anyone to make a difference in a life-threatening emergency by teaching you the basic techniques of bleeding control.
Stop the Bleed
Bleeding Control Basic Course
Saturday February 16
1 – 2:30 PM
Call 603-766-1720 or visit the Reference Desk to register!
You will receive training in bleeding control principles so that you are able to provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders are able to take over care of an injured person.
Without your intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths may occur.
The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma is leading the effort to save lives by teaching the civilian population to provide vital initial response to stop uncontrolled bleeding in emergency situations.
You will receive the latest information in bleeding control and have an opportunity to practice hands on with simulation. Join us in learning these critical lifesaving skills!
