Members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are learning vital life-saving battlefield skills in the first combat medical training course of its kind to be delivered by the British Army and its international partners. The five-week course, which began on the 29 May, has seen both current and new Ukrainian Armed Forces medics being trained in critical techniques such as providing medical care under fire, controlling heavy blood loss, and giving crucial pre-hospital emergency care. Evidence from the battlefield and requests from Ukrainian personnel have been incorporated into the programme, with trainees being instructed on how best to optimise their own health so they are fit to fight. The trainees go on to put their learning to the test in practice battlefield scenarios to give them the confidence to effectively apply their skills back on the front line. These include: triaging mass casualties with a range of different injuries treating casualties with major injuries caused by blasts and small arms fire treating and safely extracting patients from civilian and military vehicles extracting casualties under fire In their final days of training, Ukrainian personnel will learn how to teach life-saving battlefield first aid to other members of the Ukrainian Armed Forces when they return to the front line.
