Tactical Medical Training
Stop the Bleed Course
“Stop the Bleed” courses train members of the public to save lives through three basic actions.
The “First On The Scene” (FOTS) programme, developed by NAEMT and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC), gives students the skills and knowledge needed to respond to life-threatening emergencies until emergency medical services (EMS) arrive on scene. Through didactic presentations and hands-on skill stations, participants learn how to help in a life-threatening emergency and what to do until emergency medical services (EMS) arrive.
