Prepare for
First Aid
Equipment intended for ordinary first-aid preparedness within its stated scope.
PRACTICAL PREPARATION FIRST
First aid: skills before equipment
A useful home kit and basic training are more valuable than owning unfamiliar specialist medical gear.
Your first checks
- Know when and how to call 999 and the full address of the location.
- Use trusted learning resources for bleeding, choking, burns and an unresponsive person.
- Check clean dressings, plasters and gloves already at home; inspect packaging and dates.
- Plan appropriately for children, allergies, disabilities and prescribed emergency medicines.
