Forest Hill Pools registers onsite Bleed Kit with Staff Trained in Bleed Control

We are excited to announce that our leisure centre has officially registered its Bleed Kit and our dedicated staff have undergone comprehensive training in bleed control. This important step reflects our ongoing commitment to the safety and wellbeing of our community, particularly in Lewisham.

This registration means we are now a designated location equipped with life-saving haemorrhage control kits and staffed by trained personnel who are capable of responding to emergency situations where severe bleeding is present. With our team now fully trained in bleed control techniques, including the application of tourniquets and the use of our specially stocked bleed kits, we are better prepared than ever to assist in critical situations.

This new initiative offers great peace of mind not only for those who use our facilities but also the local community we serve. Whether you’re here for a fitness class, a swim, or simply enjoying the community spaces, you can rest assured that our staff are equipped to manage a wide range of medical emergencies effectively. The training ensures that they can act swiftly and confidently in potentially life-threatening situations, making our leisure centre a safer place for everyone.

The addition of this service is particularly beneficial for Lewisham as a whole. Having a kit within the community means that in the event of a serious injury, quick and professional assistance can be provided until emergency services arrive. This can be vital in helping to reduce the risk of severe blood loss and increase survival rates.

We are proud to take this step in our mission to support the health and safety of Lewisham residents, and we encourage everyone to feel confident when visiting, knowing that we are here to help when needed most.

Together, we’re making Lewisham a safer place for all.
