Safer Cornwall
More about Safer Cornwall and what they are doing.
Safer Cornwall has secured funding to install 25 HeartSafe bleed control kits free of charge in public places across Cornwall, providing the public with immediate access to lifesaving equipment if someone is experiencing a catastrophic bleed.
On average, it only takes about 4 minutes to lose a critical amount of blood from a traumatic injury which could be caused by a road traffic collision, sporting injury, accident in the home or at work, or a violent assault.
These kits are designed to provide an immediate, lifesaving intervention, after calling 999 and before the ambulance arrives on the scene.
Strategically placed in highly visible red dispensers, these trauma kits will be publicly accessible in central locations across Cornwall.

Cornwall’s unique geography, with its dispersed communities and rural landscapes, can present challenges for emergency response times. By equipping our communities with HeartSafe bleed control kits, we are addressing these challenges head-on, ensuring lifesaving support is accessible during those critical minutes before professional help arrives. These kits empower the public to act decisively in emergencies, reinforcing our commitment to making Cornwall a safer and more resilient place for everyone.
