Aylesbury gets 'emergency Blood kits' to help save lives

Emergency blood kits will be dispatched in Aylesbury to help residents survive a potential stabbing. 

Each kit contains equipment, including a tourniquet and bandages, plus instructions on how to use them in the event of treating a knife wound or traumatic injury.

They can be found at Edinburgh Playing Fields in Churchill Avenue and at Southcourt Baptist Church, Penn Road.

It comes thanks to the tireless work of the family and friends of 22-year-old Amir Shafique who died from stab wounds in October 2020, they want to stop this happening to anyone else. 

They teamed up with In This Together, Fairhive Homes Ltd, Southcourt Baptist Church, Thames Valley Police, Buckinghamshire Council and Carewell Health Recruitment Services to provide, fit and maintain the bleed kits.

To use the kit, someone must call 999, advise of their location, using the address on the pack, it will then become unlocked.
