🩹 Would you know what to do if someone was badly bleeding?
Severe bleeding can become life-threatening surprisingly quickly, so knowing what to do in those first few minutes really matters.
A few simple actions can make a huge difference:
👉 Apply firm, direct pressure to the wound
👉 Keep the pressure on - don’t keep lifting the dressing to check
👉 Call 999 for serious or uncontrolled bleeding
👉 If blood soaks through, keep applying pressure and follow the call handler’s instructions
It’s exactly the sort of practical skill we teach on our first aid courses - straightforward, hands-on training designed to give you the confidence to actually help when it matters.
