STS COVID-19 Webinar Programme
To help members during this time of lock down, STS is putting on a programme of online webinars on areas of interest expressed by members through our education survey. To keep sessions accessible they are completely free, are normally only an hour long and run in the early evening so members still working can access them.
This Session
Webinar: An Introduction to First Aid for Shooting Clubs
Date: 8 September 2020
Time: 6pm
About This Session
Although shooting is an extremely safe sport, it is possible for accidents to happen, and when the do happen, they can have serious consequences. This, combined with the recent increase in First Aid awareness due to COVID-19, means there is an even greater need to make sure clubs feel they equipped to deal with these matters when they occur.
This workshop is an introduction to first aid for shooting clubs, delivered by Bruce Jenner, a trained paramedic but with over 20 years of military and target shooting experience. STS is working with Bruce to develop a first aid course for clubs to be delivered in person, when circumstances allow, but for now this session is aimed at informing clubs about some of the basics and provide an opportunity to answer any questions you may have.
STS is extremely excited to work with Bruce to develop a series of sessions focusing on both physical and mental health, delivered by someone with both medical training and shooting experience to make sure the content is appropriate but there is also a great knowledge of the sport to help with some of the more specific questions and scenarios that shooters and target shooting clubs can come across.
