UAPD to Offer Free 'Stop the Bleed' Training on Friday; Save a Life
To observe ASG's Safety Week, UAPD is offering a free Stop the Bleed training to the campus community. The training will be held from 2:30-4 p.m. this Friday, April 15, at Pat Walker Health Center room 1116. No registration is required, just show up and receive the training.
In many cases, bleeding is a preventable cause of death. The ability to recognize life-threatening bleeding and the ability to intervene effectively can save a person's life. Whether a bleeding injury is the result of a home accident or shooting, one person who is on the scene, at the right time, and who has the right skills can make a life-or-death difference.
Often the person who is right beside a bleeding victim may be the person who is most likely to save them. That is why one of the goals of the Stop the Bleed initiative is to turn civilians into "immediate responders" — a term that describes the first person at the scene of an injury. This person is rarely a trained medical provider.
If you have a department or organization that would like to take the free Stop the Bleed training, please contact the UAPD Division of Emergency Management via email at uaem@uark.edu.
