Home First Aid Kit

Good point! I have never actually thought of this- I cut my finger the other week and we didn't even have any plasters at home So I had to go out and get some whilst my finger was wrapped in Tesco's finest kitchen roll

Julia Julia Julia tsk tsk!

Always have a first aid kit handy. Have just about everything in the house, which gets regular use with two young and active kids  But always have one in the car, never know who might need it.

Halfords are normally a good place to get one for the car, and in the house I've got a big bag of dressings, bandages, tape, savlon, disinfectant wipes, all which you can pick up from the local chemist.

Likewise first aid training, although I'm long overdue some refresher training, everyone is capable of saving a life and should do some form of basic first aid training.

Hmmm maybe something we should do in the office 

Suitably admonished 

Know the basics, but always good to get proper training.

We have one at home and would probably buy another and put it in my car. Better know the basics

I always have a first aid kit on me (probably because I'm allergic to pretty much everything) I have a first aid cabinet at home when my son was little it was mostly Calpol, plasters, Parcetamol (for me) and chesty cough syrup, nowadays I have Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, Rennies, Antihistamine tablets, Antiseptic cream, plasters, etc but no bandages, and in my handbag I have a small draw string bag with paracetamol, Antihistamine tablets, Rennies, Immodium, eye drops, and strepsils I'm pretty much a walking drug store lol. I have a proper First Aid kit at work with Bandages etc too but so far have only used  plasters not the bandages (touch wood). I have thought about one in my car too for emergency's and as I sell Basic First Aid kits I really should put one in my car just in case.

Sounds like you are a walking dispensary! 

I dunno, you sell first aid kits but don't have one in your car  

Hi Steve

At first I'd swear then wrap finger in masking tape and carry on. These days I'm diabetic type 2 so have to take extra care of myself at work always carry a first aid kit in my work bag and keep one in the passenger side footwell velcroed to the side of the console.

LOL I do the same sliced the top off my pinky finger a long time ago .. There was blood everywhere, I just stuck it back with some tape and it healed back fine and every one wanted me to go to the hospital , got a scar to show for it though..But couldn't let the party stop
