Public Access Trauma First Aid Kit (PAcT)

A public access trauma first aid kit, also referred to as a PAcT First Aid Kit is a first aid kit which supports the treatment of immediate, life-threatening injuries such as major bleeding and those who are unresponsive with absent or abnormal breathing. PAcT First Aid Kits are designed to be used by anyone, regardless of their level of first aid training, and are recognised by all the emergency services, police, ambulance and fire service, across the whole country.

 All public and private sector organisations are encouraged to include PAcT First Aid Kits within the first aid provisions they have in place. They are an additional lifesaving resource which improves an organisation’s first aid resilience.
