First event for Docbike’s military Liason Branch
Brett Callaghan, Charity Trustee and DocBike Reginal lead for Avon and Somerset, discusses the merits of a Helite Air Vest, ably assisted by the Army Master Driver from HQ South West, a volunteer from the audience and one of our IAM Roadsmart instructors.
This is from DocBike Military Engagement’s first ever event hosted by 14 Regt RA at Larkhill on 6 Mar 26.
Dr Ian Mew and trainee paramedic Ben Preston, an RAF veteran, demonstrate how to afield remove an injured biker’s helmet safely, having discussed when a helmet must be removed… when the biker is not breathing.
The biker down in this case was Conrad Garbutt, a serving soldier, and DocBike volunteer
Military attendees practice safe helmet removal
Military attendees practice CPR on one of DocBikes “female” resus dummies. Using a female dummy, is part of DocBikes efforts to normalise giving a female CPR. We understand that 1:3 males would not give CPR to a female in need, for fear of being accused of inappropriate touching. This puts females lives at direct risk.
