Dear Ben Jones

Thank you for your email requesting information regarding critical
haemorrhage incidents, equipment and training.

We are treating your correspondence as a request for information under the
Freedom of Information Act 2000.

You should normally expect to receive a further reply from us within 20
working days from the day when your request was originally received by
this Department.

The Trust will endeavour to process your request.  However, in light of
the national emergency and the Trust prioritising Covid-19 staff time is
at a premium to provide and support clinical services and we may not be
able to provide a timely response.

Kind regards

Dear Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust,

Dear Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust,

For the purposes of this request a critical haemorrhage incident is
defined as:

“A major haemorrhage, normally from an artery, which is likely to result
in death within a period of time that may be as short as minutes, because
of the rapid internal or external loss of circulating blood volume.”

Please can you supply me with the following:

Q1: The number of instances of Critical Haemorrhage Incidents the trust
dealt with in 2020/2021 & 2021/2022 (if financial limits are likely to be
hit please contact me before refusal) please include incidents regardless
of who they effected (Patients, Staff, Volunteers, Visitors & Contractors)

Q2: Does OHFT have equipment to deal with critical haemorrhage available
in wards and other patient areas? If so can you provide a list of this
equipment? By equipment I mean Tourniquets, Trauma/Israeli Dressings (not
first aid/ambulance dressings) & Haemostatics.

Q3: If Critical Haemorrhage Equipment is available do you ensure staff are
trained in it's use? If so which staff is this training accessible too
(e.g. Registered Health Care Professional's only, All clinical staff to
include HCA's/Support workers, All Staff)

Please only consider this request in relation to Mental Health & Learning
Disability Services.

Yours faithfully,

Ben Jones
