Community Bleed Kit (VTQ)

The Community Bleed Kit (VTQ) course provides essential training on how to use a Public Access Bleed Control Kit in emergency situations involving severe bleeding. These kits are increasingly found in public spaces such as schools, transport hubs, and government buildings, where they can be accessed by trained individuals or first responders during life-threatening incidents.

This course offers a practical introduction to the contents of a bleed control kit, including tourniquets, haemostatic dressings, gauze, and gloves. Learners will gain the knowledge and confidence needed to use these tools effectively to control catastrophic bleeding until emergency medical services arrive.

Through this training, you will understand when and how to apply a tourniquet, pack a wound, and manage a bleeding casualty, helping to improve survival rates in critical situations. The course also covers the importance of public access to bleed control kits and the role of bystanders in saving lives during major incidents or accidents.

The Community Bleed Kit (VTQ) course is ideal for members of the public, workplace first aiders, community responders, and anyone responsible for emergency preparedness in public spaces. It supports the wider goal of increasing awareness and readiness to act in time-critical emergencies.

This training complements other first aid qualifications and contributes to creating safer communities by ensuring more people are prepared to respond effectively to bleeding emergencies.

The Community Bleed Kit (VTQ) course is designed to provide vital knowledge and skills for responding to severe bleeding incidents using a Public Access Bleed Control Kit. These kits are increasingly available in public spaces and workplaces to improve survival rates in emergencies.
