Control The Bleed Canada

Victims suffering severe injuries can bleed out in minutes. A trauma study estimates that 2,400 Canadians bleed to death every year. Emergency services (police, fire, paramedic) rarely arrive on time.

Saving life in these situations is entirely dependant on rapid action by Immediate Responders, ordinary people, who are trained and equipped, and are already on the scene.

This program trains ordinary citizens and first responders to control catastrophic bleeding with military style tourniquets, wound packing and advanced bandaging techniques.

Control The Bleed Canada courses are available online, in-person or in the blended training format which is partly online and partly in our practical lab setting. The practical program uses specially designed training arms that bleed theatrical blood.
