Bangkok, 9 January 2024 – St. George’s University (SGU) School of Medicine in Grenada, the Caribbean, is inviting aspiring young medical enthusiasts in Thailand to participate in an upcoming workshop on Sunday 28 January, 9am-4pm, at the Grande Centre Point Terminal 21 (2 Soi Sukhumvit 19, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110).
The Stop-the-Bleed workshop is specifically tailored for students in Year 11–13 who aspire to pursue a medical career in the United States or the United Kingdom. The training aims to equip participants with crucial life-saving skills while fostering a foundation for their future endeavors in the medical field.
Students will have the opportunity to acquire three potentially life-saving techniques, designed to apply pressure quickly and effectively before severe bleeding occurs. They will learn the fundamental skills of applying pressure to a wound by hand, master the art of packing a wound to control bleeding, and be taught how to apply a tourniquet.
