Catastrophic Bleed Control

This focused, three-hour course equips participants with essential life-saving skills to manage severe bleeding incidents – where quick, confident action can make the difference between life and death.

Ideal for individuals working in high-risk environments, such as construction, manufacturing, agriculture, security, or remote locations where emergency services may be delayed, this training builds critical competence in emergency response.

Participants will learn how to effectively use tourniquets and haemostatic dressings, ensuring they are prepared to handle life-threatening situations.

This course is best suited for those who already hold a Level 3 Emergency First Aid or Level 3 First Aid at Work qualification and want to enhance their skills in managing life-threatening bleeding. It’s an excellent addition to any first aid provision and a proactive step toward improving workplace safety.

We offer the flexibility to conduct this face-to-face training for up to 12 people at your location or at our offices in Wiltshire.
