More than 30 life-saving emergency bleed control kits have been delivered to venues across Derbyshire.

The kits are designed to be used by members of the public to provide help before the arrival of emergency services.

One of the kits was recently delivered to the Old Hall Hotel in Hope.

Landlord Rick Ellison said: “You never know when accidents are going to happen. The Old Hall is next to a main road and there are incidents on occasion.

“There’s not many businesses that are open seven days a week and it also has to be somewhere that people feel they can just go in to.”

Pc Lora Holdgate, one of Derbyshire Constabulary’s licensing officers, said: “I’m really pleased to have been to hand out these vital life-saving kits.

“I’m also grateful to Rick and all the other landlords in the area who have agreed to host the kits.

“In the event of an incident leading to a catastrophic bleed, every second is vital so these kits really could make all the difference to our communities.”
