Shockingly, 40% of people suffering catastrophic blood loss will die without immediate intervention.
Course Overview
The #ZeroResponder Bleed Control Skills Training was originally designed as part of the RunHideSurvive™ counter-terrorism training programme, which was commended in the 2018 UK Counter Terror Business Awards – Education Project. The updated workshop has been specifically developed in accordance with Martyn’s Law The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, that became law in 2025. This new legislation was a result of a campaign launched by the mother of Martyn Hett who lost his life in the Manchester Arena terror attack in 2017. It aims to protect ordinary members of the public from the threats posed by terrorist attacks.
As well as looking at measures aimed at preventing a terrorist attack it was recommended that venues covered by the new legislation should ensure that employees were trained in trauma first aid relevant to the injuries which are particularly likely to occur during as terrorist attack.
The course content provides training relevant to the types of injuries likely to occur in a terrorist attack, as well as traumatic injuries resulting from accidents, violent crimes involving stabbings, and gunshot wounds. Participants will learn how to:
– Identify life-threatening bleeds
