This comprehensive online course is designed to teach you the essential theory and practical knowledge surrounding the use of tourniquets and haemostats in emergency situations. You will gain a clear understanding of when and why a tourniquet is necessary to control severe bleeding, how to properly apply it, and the potential risks if used incorrectly. Additionally, the course covers the purpose and application of haemostats—how they function to manage localised bleeding and assist in wound care. By the end of the course, you will have a solid foundation in these life-saving techniques and their critical role in trauma response.
This course comes with 1.0 hours of CPD, although the time to complete the course online may be less than this. Total course time includes 55 minutes of video training as well as knowledge reviews, final test, remedial help and reviewing downloaded material.
