Don’t miss your opportunity to learn a life-saving skill. Space still is available to join the Stop the Bleed train-a-thon on Aug. 29 in lower Storz Pavilion at Nebraska Medical Center.
Stop the Bleed is a national initiative that trains people to recognize life-threatening bleeding and intervene effectively by applying pressure, packing a wound or applying a tourniquet. The 45-minute sessions will be offered between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Registration is available here. Attendees must complete an online interactive course prior to the in-person event.
A second training event will take place on Sept. 14 at the Truhlsen Events Center inside the UNMC Sorrell Center. More information and registration details will be shared at a future date.
Each training session is open to colleagues across the med center.
Volunteers also are needed to help the event run smoothly. Colleagues who are interested in volunteering in support roles, such as check-in and traffic control, can volunteer here.
For questions or additional information about Stop the Bleed, email the training organizers.
