Public Access Trauma (PAcT) Points & Stations

Public access trauma points and stations, also known as PAcT Points & Stations, are clearly designated locations designed to store and display life-saving trauma kits for rapid access during emergency situations.

ProtectUK and NACTSO advise that PAcT Kits should be easy to locate, clearly identifiable, and accessible at all times, making well-positioned trauma points and stations an effective way to support emergency preparedness across public and private premises.

PAcT Points & Stations provide a central, highly visible location for bleed control kits, helping to reduce confusion and response times in high-pressure scenarios. Many options include clear signage, glow-in-the-dark labelling, and durable designs suitable for a wide range of environments, ensuring equipment can be quickly identified when it matters most.

Providing clearly defined locations for trauma kits supports effective emergency planning and response procedures, which form an important part of preparedness measures under Martyn’s Law. In the event of a major incident, having a designated trauma station can help guide responders directly to critical equipment, supporting faster intervention before emergency services arrive.

Simple to implement and cost-effective, PAcT Points & Stations are a practical addition to any setting, helping to ensure essential trauma care equipment remains visible, organised, and ready for immediate use.
