Want to learn how to save a life? Stop the Bleed is a FREE workshop sponsored by Duke Trauma Center. The workshop teaches the basics of bleeding control and can be brought to any audience. Participants will learn how to:

  • Recognize life-threatening bleeding
  • Stop the bleed using:
    • Direct pressure
    • Wound packing
    • Tourniquet

The workshop includes both a presentation on bleeding control basics as well as hands-on skills training by health professionals. Registration is recommended, but walk-ins will be accepted pending available seats. This event is part of Duke Trauma Center's National Stop the Bleed Month activities.
