Druk Sokchop First Aid and Druk Sokchop Wilderness First Aid for guides of De-suung Skilling Programme
We’re thrilled to share that 22 guides from the De-suung Skilling Programme completed a three-day intensive training in General First Aid and Wilderness First Aid, delivered by Druk Sokchop First Aid Team.
The sessions covered essential skills for everyday emergencies and remote outdoor settings, including CPR for adults, children, and infants, scene safety, bleeding control, wound care, and splinting, and common medical events.
In the wilderness module, participants learned how to assess remote incidents, stabilize patients with improvised splints, plan evacuation and communication in challenging environments, heat/cold illness, and environmental hazards. Hands-on practice with CPR, wound care, splinting, and simulated remote evacuations helped build confidence and decisiveness under pressure. A big thank-you to the participants and trainers, and to the De-suung Skilling Programme for prioritizing safety and readiness.
