Bleeds Training for LilyAnne's Team with St Johns Ambulance & Cleveland Police

The team at LilyAnne's Wellbeing recently attended the Cleveland Police HQ in Middlesbrough to complete bleeds training.

As part of the Cleveland Police - Cleveland Unit for the Reduction of Violence’ (CURV.) which brings together all partners and stakeholders to develop and deliver an intelligence- led strategy. This is aimed at reducing serious violence throughout Cleveland through a Public Health agenda.

The Bleeds training was a first aid package of street first aid delivered by St Johns Ambulance to up-skill our team on the use of bleeds kits which our team carry to prevent a fatal bleed during a night time economy work we deliver within Hartlepool.

Bleed control kits are being placed in night-time economy areas like pubs and clubs to help save lives from knife crime. The kits can also be used for other situations, such as dog bites or car accident

• Bleed control kits can help prevent people from bleeding to death while paramedics are on their way. 

• They can provide a first line of treatment to wound victims. 

• They can help keep victims alive until they can be seen by a paramedic. 

Team members of LilyAnne's Wellbeing who take part in the wellbeing walk always carry first aid kits and bleeds kits.
