LFC Foundation staff attended at a training course in Kirkdale last week to learn more about a new life-saving initiative.
Coaches and staff from LFC Foundation’s Premier League Kicks and Onside programmes were joined by Everton in the Community employees for a day of training delivered by the KnifeSavers campaign.
KnifeSavers is a new initiative run by trauma surgeon Mr Nikhil Misra, based within the Major Trauma Unit at Aintree University Hospital. The campaign aims to help improve survival rates from knife wounds by offering training and education on bleeding control.
The KnifeSavers team has designed specialist bleeding control kits - containing scissors, gloves, tourniquets, trauma dressings, military-grade gauze and chest wound sealant - which will be placed in targeted locations around the wider region following an initial roll-out in Liverpool.
