Did you know you have an average of just 4 minutes to stop a catastrophic bleed?
That’s why Avon and Somerset Police, HeartSafe UK, and NHS England South West have teamed up to place emergency bleed kits in public spaces throughout our communities.
These life-saving kits are available 24/7, providing instant access to critical first aid care in the event of severe bleeding. Our kits are designed to be used by any non-trained member of the public, empowering people to act swiftly in an emergency, potentially helping saving lives before an ambulance arrives on scene.
When you purchase a bleed kit through our partnership, you receive:
Free installation if needed
Legacy funding for repairs or replacements
Usage alerts via QR code scanning
Expiry notifications for timely replacements
Regular checks by local police to ensure kits are in good condition
Help us make our communities safer! To find out more on how to purchase a bleed kit for your local community, visit https://www.heartsafe.org.uk/bleed-kit-homepage/ or email communitybleedkit@avonandsomerset.police.uk.
