While it is primarily for local farmers and those working in the agriculture sector, any community member is welcome to participate.
The Emergency Trauma Training is a partnership between Nutrien and CareFlight to upskill participants with practical and life-saving skills they can use if they come across a serious incident.
It is one of 50 trauma training workshops being delivered this year in rural and regional communities across Australia.
The Deniliquin workshop, being held locally for the third year, will take place at the Deniliquin Rams Football Netball Club rooms on Monday, March 9.
Deniliquin Nutrien branch manager agronomist Matt Tubb said every minute counts at a traumatic incident, and those minutes are even more precious when medical services are far away.
“To help combat this, Nutrien Ag Solutions and CareFlight have partnered to deliver the Emergency Trauma Training program, which will provide participants with the skills and confidence to deliver life-saving assistance.
“The course builds knowledge, skills and confidence that improve long-term patient outcomes and build resilience in communities,” he said.
Taught by clinical professionals, the course is a hands on mix of theoretical and simulation-based trauma response training that includes agricultural trauma scenarios using simulation manikins, where participants work together in teams with their colleagues and learn about trauma care skills and communication at accident scenes.
The program covers the triage of patients, assessment and scene risk awareness. It also teaches terminology and procedures for an efficient and effective handover to medical personnel when they arrive on scene.
Participants can practice the skills needed to make appropriate decisions, communicate with others at the scene and take action that could help to save a life.
The workshop covers:
• Airway management procedures and skills
• Haemorrhage control skills
• Stabilisation and safe extraction of patients from a motor vehicle
• Motorbike helmet removal and when to remove
• Treatment of burn and crush injuries
• Patient assessment and triage
• Hand-over techniques to professional medical
The workshop is free and registration is available by by contacting Matt Tubb on 0407 432 710 or calling the Nutrien Deniliquin office on 5881 1777.
