Home first aid kit

[Danceswithhelicopters]

Once you have all your gear try getting a big fat ring binder with lots of clear punched pockets. Get a bg red or green one Green is HSE correct but red screams emergency) and put a big first aid kit sign on the front and spine and put it on a convenient shelf rather than the bottom of a bathroom cupboard.

This way when you have an incident, big or small, you can open up the folder and flick through the contents from small to large items which generally links with the size of bandage without emptying a stuffed bag or pouch. Keeps everything tidy and off the ground.

Gloves at the very front as a reminder.

I've even done it with my little travel FAK using a tiny Muji binder.

Wow! that does look good. I'm assuming, as it says the pads are pre-connected, that they too are mounted in the same box.

In honesty -no idea.

And whilst I'd be keen to support a quality organisation such as St Johns I do wonder if that whilst impressively small package has been built to a budget.

Would be interesting to see a review side by side against whatever else is on the market and as small again.

"For immediate use, the HEART Pocket is supplied complete with smart pads and a battery. Made for one-touch operation, it can be powered on at the press of a button. With Smart Voice Guidance to provide clear support, first responders can be guided confidently through the rescue process. The advanced algorithm itself is capable of detecting implants, including pacemakers, and the Pocket will deliver a shock in less than 8 seconds. As an alternative, a unique, market‑leading rechargeable battery is also available. It is an option for those looking to significantly reduce their long‑term operational costs, and can be purchased separately."

"In terms of the cost per day, it works out to £0.41 (excluding VAT). This is based on the 8-year warranty period (including two leap years) and covers an extra set of pads, as well as a replacement battery that will be needed during that time. Please note however, that this price does not take into account the optional, rechargeable battery."
