Accident Response Kit For GP Practice
Recently there was a significant traffic accident on the road, just outside our medical practice. One of our doctors and one of our nurses went out to help. This has highlighted the fact that we do not actually have an emergency kit, ready to hand, should such a situation arise again. The doctors have put together a list of what we would need in our emergency kit:
contents
- warning triangle
- 2 hi vis vests
- ATEX rated safety torch w/batteries
- professional gel knee pads
- aneroid sphygmomanometer and stethoscope
- trauma fix sterile high pressure bandage
- 2 ambulance dressings no 3
- 2 ambulance dressings no 2
- 2 ambulance dressings no 1
- 10 sterile gauze swabs (five pack)
- first aid equipment bag
