Casualties Union - Furness Branch
Description
Casualty Simulation at its best Our group is one of many diverse groups within Casualties Union, we are made up of all ages, giving us the best mix of experience and youth. We have no set dates to join and training is held on Monday evenings.
Our work is made up of small First Aid training scenarios to allow local First Aid trainers the opportunity to see how the classes react to a live, injured casualty, right through to doctors examinations where quick thinking and doing the right thing is the difference between life and death.

Our Monday evening training classes allow our Members both experienced and new to come together to practice existing and share new techniques, not only this we also use the time most weeks to prepare for varied duties that have come in for our Members to be involved with as casualties, these maybe for the Fire & Rescue Services, Medical Professional Training, First Responder Training, First Aid Training and Gala's to list only a few. All of our Members are trained in acting out many accidents and injury scenarios, the Members are also trained to apply Casualty Simulation Makeup an applied skill that brings all of the incidents to life for all involved in the work we do for all of our clients as live trained Casualties. Please see some photos (Caution the Makeup Injuries photos look very real) below taken of our Members training and presenting the amazing results...
