Learn how to STOP THE BLEED with Durham College and Sunnybrook Hospital Posted on April 29, 2022 at 1:50 pm. This message is being sent on behalf of Thomas Bezruki, manager, Emergency Management. Please direct any questions to Diana D’Ornellas, CERT coordinator, Office of Campus Safety. Durham College (DC) invites staff and students to attend STOP THE BLEED®, important life-saving training hosted in partnership with Sunnybrook Hospital’s Trauma Emergency Team. As the first post-secondary institution in Ontario and only the second in Canada to offer this program to its campus community, DC is proud to be leading the way in campus safety. According to STOP THE BLEED®, 20 percent of people who have died from traumatic injuries could have survived with quick bleeding control. The purpose of the training is to empower trained bystanders to quickly take life-saving action when needed. With this training, you could help save a life one day – possibly even your own! In advance of Stop the Bleed Day on May 19, DC will be hosting several training sessions on May 12th and 13th at our Whitby and Oshawa campuses, respectively. The goal is to train 200 participants, who can expect to leave with a better understanding of bleeding control, therefore improving the odds of victim survival following critical injuries and mass casualty events.
