First Aid at Work + Life Threatening Bleeding

This three day, 18 hour, course is ideal for venues and event providers who are considered as either 'standard tier' or 'enhanced tier' settings by Martyn's Law.  

It takes the standard syllabus of First Aid at Work, which is the most common qualification required by higher risk settings, and incorporates a module on managing life threatening bleeding.  This module will teach you what is to be found inside a publicly accessible bleed kit (PACT) and how to use it safely to save a life. 

This course helps you to ensure that you are prepared to act in the case of a terrorism event, a stabbing, or other incident where severe hemorrhage is a possibility without having to do extra training and courses beyond your standard first aid training requirement.

It includes multiple practical scenarios where you will get to put your training into practice in a controlled environment.
