They also add Christmas could pose a knife risk, stating: "Whether it’s chopping a mountain of carrots, parsnips, sprouts and potatoes in prep for the big day or if carving the turkey goes awry at just the wrong time, make sure you clean the wound by placing it under cool running water or use an alcohol-free wipe.
"Apply gentle pressure to the area and keep it elevated, if possible, to minimise the bleeding, then dress with a sterile plaster or dressing. Firmly secure the dressing to maintain pressure on the wound but take care to not cut off
