Building a Home Emergency Medical Kit
World First Aid Day is a good reminder to check your home medical kit. What to keep in it, three basics for using it, why to learn CPR and know your nearest AED, and how to keep the kit ready.

A foundation programme in the skills needed to respond effectively to an emergency. It combines the underlying theory with practical application, so a responder can assess what has happened and act on it.
Most emergencies are first met by an ordinary person rather than a medic, whether at work, at school or at home. This foundation programme gives that person the confidence to assess what has happened and act on it.
Theory is combined with hands-on practice, because equipment on its own treats nobody. A well-stocked first aid kit beside someone who cannot open an airway or recognise a cardiac arrest changes very little; a trained person is what makes it useful.
