PFCC supports The Liam Taylor Legacy and ECFRS in placing life-saving bleed kits

PFCC joins Liam Taylor Legacy in placing bleed kits

Southend Fire Station is now equipped with a public access bleed prevention kit to give injured people better emergency care.

The bleed kit in Southend was funded by Daniel Johnson who ran the London Marathon last year. This was as part of The Liam Legacy, which was set up by Julie Taylor who tragically lost her grandson, Liam, in 2020.

The bleed kits - containing a trauma dressing, a chest seal, a pack bandage, a tourniquet, gloves, scissors, a foil blanket, and a mouthguard for giving CPR - give firefighters and staff the tools they need to treat injuries and prevent people from entering hypovolemic shock or even dying from blood loss.

Roger Hirst, Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex, said: “The PFCC has long worked in partnership with Julie Taylor. She is an inspiration, she is dedicated and works tirelessly, and it is no understatement to say her work is of the utmost importance to driving down deaths from knife crime in Essex. "
