A joint statement on Bystander Bleeding Control for London.
People can lose a lot of blood, very quickly from bleeding wounds. Pressing directly on a wound with a piece of material until help arrives can make all the difference.
We encourage all Londoners to get confident in delivering basic first aid to bleeding wounds.
