A life-saving bleed control kit has been installed at Norwich station.
The kit, designed to treat extreme bleeding that could be fatal within minutes, includes a tourniquet, rapid gauze, a trauma dressing, gloves and a high-powered light.
The Joe Dix Foundation, a charity set up in memory of a teenager murdered in Norwich in January 2022, installed the kit.
Georgia Payne, Greater Anglia’s safeguarding and community safety manager, said: “The new bleed control kit at Norwich station adds to the many already found in various venues around the city.

Emma Dix, founder of the Joe Dix Foundation, said: “We hope that the bleed kit never has to be used, but we are very grateful to the team at Norwich train station for supporting us to protect the local community.”
The Joe Dix Foundation was set up in memory of Joe Dix, who was murdered in Norwich in January 2022.
