Trainings “First aid skills in emergency situations”

On April 11 and 14, the Emergency First Aid Skills trainings were held, conducted by volunteers Adam McQuire and Holly Tann, certified military medics, founders of the British non-profit organization Casus Pax.

The trainings were attended by scientific and pedagogical workers and students of the Zaporizhia Polytechnic National University.

The participants practiced first aid skills: they practiced applying tourniquets, bandages, and using hemostatics.

Experts provided recommendations on the minimum set for first aid kit: at least one quality tourniquet, hemostatic, bandage, gloves, and scissors.

Thank you to Adam McQuire and Holly Tann for their great work! Such knowledge saves lives!

What did you like most about the event?

The way the information was given, the trainers’ charisma.

Yevhen Potapenko, Associate Professor

A lot of practice.

Volodymyr Goltvyanytsya, Associate Professor

It was very hands-on, highly relevant, and practical, especially the part where we learned how to use a tourniquet in emergencies. I also enjoyed the drama performed by Adam MacQuire that accompanied the training session – a very effective way to help the participants remember what they have to do and how. Thank you so much! It was absolutely engaging, and while I do hope to never need these skills, I appreciate the opportunity.
