More than 30 life-saving emergency bleed control kits have been delivered to venues across the High Peak, Hope Valley and Derbyshire Dales as part of an innovative new project.

Stocked with a range of items designed to help control a catastrophic bleed, an initial allocation of 32 kits have now been located at licensed premises and other venues across the area.

The kits are designed to be used by members of the public to provide help before the arrival of emergency services.

They have mainly been funded by the Community Safety Partnerships in the High Peak and Derbyshire Dales.

PC Lora Holdgate, one of Derbyshire Constabulary’s licensing officers, said: “I’m really pleased to have been to hand out these vital life-saving kits. In the event of an incident leading to a catastrophic bleed, every second is vital so these kits really could make all the difference to our communities.”
