Management of Life-threatening Bleeding (up to 1 hour)
This focused qualification is designed to teach immediate, life-saving techniques for severe injuries. They cover direct pressure, wound packing, and the use of manufactured or improvised tourniquets to stop rapid blood loss.
Face-to-face course details
This qualification should be completed alongside one of our first aid training courses and covers wound packing, tourniquet application, and recognising, treating, and managing, to prevent fatalities in high-risk environments.
Please note: If you are based in Scotland, Southern Ireland, Northern Ireland, or Jersey, additional costs may apply.
Course Overview
Uncontrolled bleeding can be fatal within minutes, often before emergency services arrive. Knowing what to do immediately can make the difference between life and death.
Proper bleeding control reduces blood loss, lowers the risk of shock, and improves recovery chances once the casualty reaches hospital.
Please note: This course must be taken alongside one of our first aid qualifications — it’s not available as a standalone course. The content will be embedded into a specialised first aid course and add up to an extra hour of content.
