Tourniquets and Haemostatic Dressings

The Tourniquets and Haemostatic Dressings course is a focused online training programme designed to provide essential knowledge and practical understanding of two critical bleed control techniques: the use of tourniquets and haemostatic dressings.

This course is ideal for anyone who may need to respond to severe bleeding in emergency situations, including first aiders, first responders, or those working in high-risk environments. You will learn when and why a tourniquet is needed, how to apply it safely and effectively, and the risks associated with improper use.

In addition, the course explains the role of haemostatic dressings - how they help manage localised bleeding and their importance in wound care when a tourniquet is not appropriate. Step-by-step guidance ensures you gain a clear understanding of both tools and how they contribute to overall trauma response.

By the end of the course, learners will have a solid foundation in identifying life-threatening bleeds, selecting the appropriate intervention, and taking decisive action to help save lives. The content is delivered through engaging video-based modules and can be completed entirely online at your own pace.

Whether for professional development or personal preparedness, this course builds confidence in applying essential bleed control measures in high-pressure situations.

4. Learners can then sign up using the link to the training portal, www.protrainings.uk/signup/safetysigns4less.
