A tourniquet is a device designed to stop severe bleeding from a limb by applying pressure to blood vessels. It is typically used when direct pressure alone is not sufficient to control life-threatening blood loss. During the course, you'll learn when tourniquets should be used, how to apply them correctly and the precautions that should be taken to ensure they remain effective and safe. ### What are haemostatic dressings? Haemostatic dressings are specialised products designed to help blood clot more quickly when applied to a wound. They are often used in situations involving severe bleeding where standard dressings may not be enough. Training covers several commonly used haemostatic products and explains how they work, when they should be used and how they fit into modern bleeding control procedures. ### Who is this course suitable for? This course is suitable for anyone who may need to respond to a severe bleeding emergency. It is particularly valuable for workplace first aiders, security personnel, volunteers, outdoor instructors and community groups. No medical background is necessary. The content is delivered in a way that makes complex subjects understandable for beginners while remaining valuable for those with existing first aid experience. ### Will I receive a certificate? Upon successful completion, participants receive a digital certificate that remains valid for three years. This provides evidence of training and demonstrates the skills covered during the course. Learners also receive a Certified CPD certificate and access to additional resources that can help support ongoing learning and professional development. ### What types of tourniquets are covered? Several widely used commercial tourniquets are discussed throughout the training, including CAT, SOFT-T, MAT and SAM XT devices. The course examines how each system operates and the situations in which they may be used. Understanding different designs helps participants become familiar with equipment they may encounter in workplaces, public trauma kits or emergency response environments. ### Will I learn wound-packing techniques? Yes. Wound packing forms an important part of the practical training and is particularly relevant for deep wounds where direct pressure may not adequately control bleeding. Participants learn how to pack wounds correctly, how haemostatic products can be incorporated into treatment and what ongoing monitoring should take place after treatment has been applied. ### Does the course cover shock management? Recognising and responding to shock is included within the training programme. Severe blood loss can quickly lead to shock, making early identification an important skill. You'll learn common signs and symptoms to look for, along with the actions that can help support a casualty while professional medical assistance is on the way. ### Can training be delivered at our workplace? Yes. Courses can be delivered directly at your workplace, a community venue or another suitable location. This allows groups to receive training in a familiar and convenient setting. On-site delivery can also make scheduling easier and reduce travel requirements, particularly for businesses wishing to train several members of staff together. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot-2026-06-05-124618.png - **Gallery image count**: 0 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
