A Statement from Mike Vass at Avon & Somerset Constabulary

We have options in regard to location placements – some of which I would look to as priorities are data led hotspots for serious violence, requested sites from Violence reduction partnership data and community requested sites.

Between Clive and myself we have the ability to install locations swiftly following the identification of sites.

I also have staff that can if needed seek building owner permissions to conduct the installs.

The Police and Heartsafe then commit to the long term maintenance and running of the sites – replacing used kits, repairing damage etc.

We also add the locations to our local Policing patrol plans so that they are checked periodically.

We are approaching 200 sites across the South West – my drive is to reach 500 by the end of this year.

If you look at our map it looks great but in reality to offer the best possible provision and protection to the public we need far greater number out there!

So great things are in motion but we need that support to continue this going forward.

Alongside the kits going out we have started the consultation of community training with the NHS.

In relation to this I have copied in a response that I provided to a strategic partner this morning below:

In conjunction with the A&S/Heartsafe partnership which provides 24hr unrestricted public access bleed kits (currently approaching 200 locations), we have also funded and allocated numerous advanced kits to all SIA accredited NTE staff in Bristol and Bath with collaboration from local authorities.

They have all been trained in the deployment and use of this equipment.

The charity Rapaid are also introducing basic bleed kits to 40 taxis specifically in Bristol city centre.

In development currently – I have collaborated with the head of EMD training for NHS South West. They are building a session that will deliver a training product that focusses on how someone calls into ambulance control, what they will be asked and how best to deploy a bleed kit. This training does not exist currently anywhere and is vital to maximise life saving opportunities as many untrained members of the public panic in moments of crisis.

So the final product will cover this and then how to use a bleed kit and deliver that aid to a patient whilst waiting for an ambulance.

It will be free to all and delivered via their network of 300 volunteers which are provided via charities.

There are motivated members of community that deliver bleed kit training in isolation in numerous locations around the country. These sessions are not endorsed or approved by the British medical association, NHS or ambulance service and are often with kits supplied by large multinational PPE supply companies which are profit organisations.

Community members that perform such sessions do so with all the right intentions and I admire their drive and motivation – we just need to be very cautious as to what we support with them.

The training session being produced with the NHS is done so by professionals and is backed up with appropriate resources and kit for the intended users.

My intention when ready is to offer this out to all communities, local authorities and education across the entire Avon and Somerset area.

Supported by Avon and Somerset Police

Get Involved With The Bleed Kit Scheme

This initiative aims to raise awareness about bleed control kits and make them readily accessible to give members of the public the equipment to help preserve or save lives in the event of an emergency until professional medical help arrives.

The scheme aims to raise awareness on bleed control kits.

This partnership initiative started with Avon and Somerset Police to work around violent crime – the bleed control kits are there to be used in any incident in which a person is suffering from a life-threatening bleed, whether it be a road traffic collision, fall, or another traumatic injury.

If you are interested in joining this initiative, you can get involved even if you are not in the Avon and Somerset area.

You can do it alone... But - it might be better to get your community involved...

Your Local Police Force

Your local police force plays a vital role in endorsing and supporting this life-saving initiative. Contact your local police station or contact us, and we can facilitate an introduction. Police endorsement adds credibility and can promote the growth of community involvement.

Community Communications

Awareness is crucial for the success of the Bleed Kit Scheme. Your local police force communications can significantly amplify the reach of the campaign. We also encourage you to collaborate with businesses in your area to raise awareness about the initiative via newsletters, social media, or other channels.

Public Support

The foundation of any movement is the people behind it. Talk to neighbours, friends, and family about the importance of having immediate access to a bleed control kit. Organise local meetings, create online groups, or speak at community events to build up interest and support.

Facilitate Training

We also encourage you to host or organise workshops and training sessions for community members. Educate them on recognising life-threatening bleeding and properly using a bleed control kit. Practical knowledge can make all the difference in a critical situation.

Providing training to the public on how to use a bleed control kit can help in case of a situation involving severe bleeding. This is another reason you allow us to facilitate an introduction to your local police force… You never know – we might even be able to help you raise more money to support your community.

Our Bleed Control Kit Map

If you manage or have installed a bleed control kit at a public location, you can register this.

By listing your kit on the Bleed Kit Map:

You make it easily discoverable for those in urgent need.
It encourages others to contribute to the network of available bleed kits.
It demonstrates a proactive commitment to saving lives in your community.

Remember, anyone can help stop the bleed! Get trained, get involved, and make a difference today.

The Bleed Kit mapping system, which includes real-time plotting of bleed kit sites, is offered on the Bleed Kit Map Page. It is designed for use only with the HeartSafe ‘Limpet’ & the ‘Standalone’ dispensers with the supplied HeartSafe Community Bleed Control Pouch.

Should you purchase or be given a HeartSafe Community Bleed Control Kit Pouch separate (not including either the Bleed Kit ‘Limpet’ MK1 dispenser or the Bleed Kit ‘Standalone’ MK2 dispenser), you cannot register the medical kit/pouch on the website if it is housed in any other housing.

The mapping system offered in the Avon & Somerset Police and South West Ambulance Service regions is an approved model designed only for the Limpet and Standalone HeartSafe dispensers.

We are unable to guarantee that a bleed control kit will always be available in an emergency. Once we are advised that a kit has been deployed or removed, every effort is made to replace it for future deployment. Our aim is to ensure we maintain the bleed kit locator map to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information possible.

Emergency Bleed Kits

Bleed Kits are specifically designed to handle ‘life threatening bleeding’. In the event of a traumatic injury, a person can lose critical amounts of blood within minutes.
A bleed kit package that includes items like haemostatic dressings, trauma dressings, and a tourniquet can benefit a community in several ways. This type of package can be vital in emergencies where there is a severe bleeding injury, allowing bystanders or the injured person themselves to provide immediate aid while waiting for professional medical help.
In 2023, Avon and Somerset Police joined up with HeartSafe and NHS England South West to install over 100 bleed kits across their force area and raise awareness. These have been installed onto the side of existing HeartSafe defibrillators and are immediately accessible to the public in the event of an emergency.

Some of the items Included In The Bleed Kit

There are a number of different products designed to control or stop bleeding.

2x Trauma Dressing

Trauma dressings, a highly absorbent padded dressing can be used to cover the wound followed by sustained pressure to the wound

2x Haemostatic Dressings

Haemostatic dressings accelerate blood clotting to control severe bleeding in trauma situations, reducing blood loss and potentially saving lives.

Tourniquet

Tourniquets are medical devices used to reduce catastrophic bleeding to the arms or legs by applying pressure to stop the blood flow.

Here are some key benefits...

Life Saving: Rapid bleeding control can be the difference between life and death in severe injuries. Haemostatic dressings, trauma dressings, and tourniquets are specifically designed to stop bleeding rapidly and prevent further blood loss, potentially saving lives.

Familiarise where your nearest Bleed Kit can be found: Having such a kit available in public spaces, homes, workplaces, and schools means the community is better prepared to handle emergencies. It can be especially valuable when emergency medical services are delayed.

These available Kits will help demonstrate a level of assistance is available: When community members know that these tools are available and that individuals are trained to use them, it can provide a greater sense of security. People may feel more confident knowing that immediate help is available in case of an accident.
Supports community education and training: The existence of these kits can spur community education efforts about their usage and the importance of first aid. This can help foster a more knowledgeable and prepared community.
Versatility: These kits can be used in various situations, from household and business accidents to more severe incidents like vehicle accidents or situations involving violence.

What Other Questions Do Customers Ask About Our Bleed Kits?

We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions about our Bleed Kits. Just click on the question to see the answer!

What does a bleed kit package include?

A typical bleed kit package includes:
2 x Large Trauma Dressings
2 x Haemostatic Dressings
1 x Tourniquet
Other Items:
2 x Individual Pair of Nitrile Gloves
Medical Shears/Scissors
Foil Blanket
CPR Face Shield
Whistle

What is the purpose of a haemostatic dressing?

A haemostatic dressing is used to promote rapid blood clotting in the event of a severe bleeding injury. It is particularly useful in situations where traditional bandages and pressure are not sufficient to control the bleeding.

NOT to be used on open chest wound, open head wound or the eyes.

How is a trauma dressing different from a regular dressing?

A trauma dressing is larger and more absorbent than regular dressings. It’s designed to manage heavy bleeding and cover large wounds. Direct pressure is then applied on this packing.

When should a tourniquet be used?

A tourniquet should be used when bleeding from a limb cannot be controlled by other means like direct pressure or when a wound is so severe that other treatment methods are not immediately possible. However, it should be applied by a trained individual as incorrect usage can cause additional harm.
It is applied directly to the skin not clothing.

How can I learn to use these items properly?

First Aid training courses are designed to familiarise you with the use of these specially designed tools to assist a patient suffering from blood loss. There are many organisations offering such advice.

Can anyone use this bleed kit package?

While anyone can potentially use the kit, a level of training is naturally an advantage. As a good samaritan, anyone can use a bleed kit to assist in an emergency until the arrival of the Ambulance Service.
Always maintain telephone contact with the 999 Operator at the Ambulance Service. They are trained and able to advise you over the telephone and answer your questions. When using a mobile phone ensure it is on loud speaker.

Where should we keep this bleed kit package in our community?

Ideally, the bleed kit package should be kept in easily accessible locations in public spaces, schools, workplaces, and homes.

More Bleed Kits will become available, such as the joint initiative between Avon & Somerset Police Constabulary and HeartSafe is currently being launched. Existing well known and highly visible HeartSafe Defibrillator Cabinets can have Bleed Kit Dispensers added for local community use.

Does this kit have an expiration date?

Yes, components such as the haemostatic dressings have an expiration date after which they may not be as effective. It’s important to regularly check and replace any expired components.

Does this bleed kit replace the need for professional medical help?

No, this kit is a first aid measure to be used in emergency situations. It is not a replacement for professional medical care. Always call 999 Ambulance Service as soon as possible when encountering a person with a severe bleed injury.

What should I do after using the bleed kit?

After using the bleed kit, ensure that the injured person gets professional medical help as soon as possible. Make sure to inform the healthcare professionals about the steps you took, including the use of the bleed kit, to assist them in their treatment plan. Please also alert HeartSafe to any kits that have been used so we can replace these. Do this by clicking here.
HeartSafe Bleed Kits will provide instructions for re-ordering.

Extra minutes can save lives. Know where your bleed kit is located in your community.

The Bleed Kit locator map identifies unlocked bleed kit dispensers available to the public, following the AACE (Association of Ambulance Chief Executives) recommendations. The map allows the public to check in their community where bleed kits are closest to your place of home or work. The map identifies kits that are registered by their owners throughout the UK and are listed on the map as they are happy to share access in the event of an emergency. Anyone owning or providing a bleed kit to their community can freely register it’s availability here.
The map is to encourage people to learn the whereabouts of their nearest bleed kit dispenser in advance of ever needing to use one in an emergency. Having this knowledge will save time once you ring 999 and make contact with the emergency services.
Any medical items in the Bleed Kit that were not supplied by HeartSafe and their partners are the responsibility of the individual or organisation that registered their Bleed Kit on the HeartSafe Bleed Kit map. This includes replacing these items by the specified due date, regardless of whether the kit includes a dispenser or not.
We are unable to guarantee that a bleed control kit will always be available in an emergency. Once we are advised that a kit has been deployed or removed, every effort is made to replace it for future deployment. Our aim is to ensure we maintain the bleed kit locator map to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information possible.

*Please note that kits with restricted access are in places like malls, so they will not be accessible during hours when the building is locked and closed.
