To help combat this, Nutrien Ag Solutions and CareFlight have partnered to deliver their Emergency Trauma Training program.
Open to the public, a free Emergency Trauma training session will be held at Club Corowa tomorrow, Thursday, February 13, starting at 8:00am and running to 4.00pm.
The program will provide participants with the skills and confidence to deliver life-saving assistance.
The course builds knowledge, skills and confidence that improves long-term patient outcomes and builds resilience in communities.
Taught by clinical professionals, the course is a hands-on mix of theoretical and simulation-based trauma response training.
Training includes agricultural trauma scenarios using simulation mannequins, where participants work together in teams with their colleagues and learn about trauma care skills and communication at accident scenes.
Scenario training utilises tools like CareFlight’s CrashSim which replicates a motor vehicle accident. The program covers the triage of patients, assessment and scene risk awareness.
Participants can practise the skills needed to make appropriate decisions, communicate with others at the scene and take action that could help to save a life.
The course can host up to 14 participants and is free for customers, growers, community members and Nutrien employees.
