BIKERS across West Mercia are invited to attend a free three-hour ‘Biker Down’ course, offering potentially life-saving skills on Sunday, October 15 at Upton-upon-Severn in Worcestershire.
The Biker Down course, from 10am to 1pm, is delivered in partnership by a number of organisations including the Safer Roads Partnership, West Mercia Police, Midlands Air Ambulance, Hereford and Worcester Fire Service and the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM RoadSmart).
Designed for motorcyclists of all ages and abilities, Biker Down is a free three-hour course which offers bikers the chance to benefit from essential first-aid training and advice on what to do should they find themselves at the scene of a collision first where a motorcyclist is injured, as well as learning practical skills to help avoid being involved in a collision.
The course is made up of three modules: Collision scene management, Basic first aid and casualty care (including CPR and helmet removal) and ‘The science of being seen’ – advice on visibility and positioning.
Approximately 20 places are available on the course and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
Email Anna Higgins at [email protected] to attend or call 01905 331323 if you have any queries.
