Donations to CSU paramedics
1 JANUARY 2003
More than 100 motorcyclists from the Far Riders club will arrive at Mount Panorama in Bathurst on Saturday 25 May to donate surplus or damaged gear to the Charles Sturt University (CSU) paramedic program for use in student simulation exercises. Mr Brian Haskins, lecturer in the paramedic program at the CSU School of Biomedical Sciences in Bathurst, said, “The bikers are due to arrive by about 11.30am and will do a lap of the Mount and then gather for a group photo at the Start-Finish line in Pit Straight where they will present the donated equipment – boots, jackets, helmets, gloves. They will be joined by other donors, Ms Cherelyn Chapman and Mr Andrew Carnegie-Smith, who both donated cars that will be modified for use in student extrication exercises. I’ll be there with the new CSU paramedic trauma car to collect the equipment in, and I’ll present certificates of appreciation to the donors. On Saturday afternoon, I will show the CSU Inter-Professional Simulation Centre to some of the donors, including Mr Philip Lennon, who is an Australian specialist in the removal of helmets from injured riders.”
