St. John’s Ambulance Company announced new first aid standards to reflect emergency needs after stabbing and terrorist attacks. Companies are required to consider installing public access trauma (PAcT) first aid kits in venues, football fields, and railway stations. The kit includes military-grade wound dressings, tourniquets, and written and visual instructions on how to use them.

Dr. Lynn Thomas, Medical Director of St John Ambulance, said: "The introduction of these standards is an important step forward on the road to saving more lives. Although they are not mandatory, the long-term goal is to make PacT first aid kits As common and widely accepted as public access defibrillators."

Affected by the suicide bombing of Manchester Arena on May 22, 2017 and the one-year investigation that began in mid-2020, this work was undertaken by St. John Ambulance and CitizenAID in collaboration with the official National Anti-Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) in the United Kingdom. Collaboration.

The PacT first aid kit should at least be contained in a clearly marked green box or bag:

Personal protective equipment (two sets of PPE, consisting of disposable gloves [x 4 pairs], disposable glasses, disposable masks) tuff scissors x 2 large trauma dressings x 4 woven triangle bandages x 2 tourniquets x 2 CPR masks x 2 Indelible marker x 2 PacT first aid kit memo (guidance-including text and images-from St John Ambulance and CitizenAID), available online for free.

CitizenAID Chairman Andrew Thurgood said: "The launch of the PacT suite adds another important layer of flexibility to the public, who may need to act quickly to save lives before the 999 service arrives.

"Through its free app, citizenAID promotes a set of simple life-saving actions to stop bleeding, and the use of a publicly accessible trauma (PAcT) first aid kit means that the public's ability to effectively respond to these situations has been further enhanced.

Tourniquets can prevent life-threatening limb bleeding, and Tourni-Key is a device designed by CitizenAID that can turn a piece of clothing into a temporary tourniquet.

The British government and decentralized administration, the police, the NHS, other medical institutions-such as the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh Pre-hospital Nursing School-and charities have all participated in the development and approval of the new standard. This is their first standard. . Kind in the UK.

Michael Orchard, National Coordinator for Protection and Preparation of the Counter-Terrorism Police and Chief Detective Police Officer, said: “It is vital that we raise awareness of simple first aid and appropriate equipment that can be used throughout the entire range. Improve one’s chances of survival. Scenarios. I hope that the new standard of PacT first aid kits can help when people suffer the most serious injuries. This is especially important in real-time or ongoing terrorist incidents, which may need to be carried out by the public at this time First aid until first responders can reach any casualties."
