LOCAL DEFIBRILLATORS & BLEED KITS
Ditchingham Parish Council has installed two bleed kits in the village as part of its commitment to community safety. A bleed kit contains specialist first aid equipment designed to help control severe bleeding in the event of an accident or emergency until professional medical help arrives. In rural areas, where ambulance response times may be longer, having a kit available can make a vital difference and could help to save a life. Parishioners are encouraged to familiarise themselves with its location so it can be accessed quickly if ever needed.
