Great weekend doing medical training! | Stop the Bleed | RYA First Aid

ERT SAR Chief Gary Foo taught the Stop the Bleed program and enhanced it with TCCC / Tactical Combat Casualty Care and Police Tactical Medic material. Gary, who is a Paramedic, is also an RYA First Aid Instructor and Gary knows the value of the program for ERT SAR Marine Uint members. Gary asked Mike Coulson who is a former Police Officer and runs an RYA school, Aboard Boat Training, to come and teach the RYA First Aid course too. The team had a great day and time flew by whilst everyone leaned and practised lots!
