First aid kit planning

Putting together a household first aid kit.

  • Keep a first aid kit at home and in each vehicle. Pre-packed kits from St John or Red Cross are a good starting point.
  • Add enough prescription medicines for several days, plus copies of prescriptions.
  • Check expiry dates regularly.
  • The best preparation is training. Book a first aid course with St John, Red Cross or another provider.
