November at Poltava State Medical University was marked by another series of practical first aid trainings for Poltava residents representing various professions — educators, cultural and sports workers, business representatives, social sector employees, and civil society members. The training took place at the PSMU Simulation Center as part of the Erasmus+ KA2 LIFESTRAND program, aimed at developing and spreading life-saving skills among people living in military risk areas.
Participants gained a set of practical competencies that are critically important in emergency situations. The training covered:
-techniques of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR);
-algorithms for managing severe bleeding;
-rules of transport immobilization;
assistance in cases of foreign body airway obstruction.
Every participant had the chance to practice actions in conditions as close to real-life scenarios as possible, which significantly improves learning effectiveness.
Training was delivered by the qualified LIFESTRAND Junior Trainers team: Vladyslav Telegan, Alina Davydenko, Oleksandr Ordiunov, Danylo Ovcharenko, Anastasiia Kharchenko. Combining international experience with national training standards, their professionalism, attentiveness, and dedication created an atmosphere of trust and motivation — ensuring a high level of practical preparedness for all participants.
The project team continues its active communication efforts to engage new participants, promote the program, and raise public awareness about the importance of timely response in critical situations.
We sincerely thank all participants for their enthusiasm and willingness to master essential skills — and our trainers for their professionalism, passion and tireless work.
Each training session is another step toward building a more prepared, united, and resilient Poltava community.
