On Sunday 24th May three Shannons Flat Brigade members attended a trauma care workshop at Adaminaby RFS shed. The training, provided by a highly experienced team from CareFlight, was excellent. Rather than first aid, the emphasis was on increasing our confidence in assessing, triaging and treating trauma patients so that they have the best care in the circumstances until professional medical help arrives. A number of realistic scenarios - from a child's bike accident through to a motor vehicle accident - enabled everyone to get involved.
As with all such events, the also day proved valuable from simply mingling with members of other brigades. To cap it off, Adrian (Ado) Butter's wife, Amanda, provided an outstanding lunch.
It proved a great day all around, organised by Ado and a credit to the Adaminaby Brigade.
