Snake Bite Compression Bandaging Practice

Snake Bite Compression Bandaging Practice

Sat 24th Feb 2024

Completed

Part-day walk, Training

What do you do if a snake bites you on the butt? Join qualified Wildlife snake handler and educator Allan Donnelly on a relaxed walk in Farrer Ridge Nature Reserve. During a break, Allan will talk us through his snake bite protocol. We will then split into pairs and practise compression bandaging (not on a butt!) and immobilisation/being the patient, under his supervision. For leaders only. Bring your snake compression bandage with you (it’s best kept in an easily accessible part of your pack).

Allan will also cover blister prevention and management. Allan is a practising podiatrist and experienced bushwalker.
