Surfers, learn how to stop blood loss from ocean injury
Published: 18 February 2025
TacMed Military Medics will be conducting a one-off trauma and bleeding control course for surfers and ocean-users at Broulee this Friday 21 February.
Attendees will learn skills that can save a life from traumatic and severe injuries like shark attack, fin chop, propeller injury and severe lacerations and puncture wounds. The hands-on course requires participants to get wet and involves the use of fake blood.
This free course runs from 1.45-5pm at South Broulee Beach – sun protection and swimwear required. Spots are limited and bookings essential. For more information contact Eurobodalla Council’s recreation development officer Tina Smith on 4474 1000.
This course is sponsored by Council and run by Surfing NSW in partnership with the Department of Primary Industries as part of the NSW Government’s Shark Management Program.
