A free, ‘bleed control training session’ is due to take place on Thursday 3rd July 2025, 6 pm – 7.30 pm at Cradley Heath Community Centre. The training provider is ‘Yes 2 Life’ and the ‘Birmingham Empowerment Forum’. This training session is just one of the many activities that will be taking place across Sandwell as part of Sandwell’s ‘Safer 6 Initiative’ https://www.sandwell.gov.uk/community-safety/safer-6-campaign
The bleed control training is fun, serious at times and thought provoking, it is hands on and there will be lots of opportunities to ask questions about what to do if you are the first responder to someone that may have encountered a catastrophic blood loss incident. The training will look at techniques if you have access to a bleed control kit and will look at what you can do if you don’t, this training is about providing the person who has encountered a blood loss incident ‘extra’ valuable time in order to maintain survival until the emergency services arrive.
Certificates will be given to all that complete the course. If this course is of interest to you and you would like to attend, then email: comm_partnerships@sandwell.gov.uk or call 07884 547085 to secure your place.
