First Aid and Emergency

First aid and emergency supplies keep teams ready to respond to cuts, burns, choking and collapse without delay. Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 place a duty on employers to provide equipment adequate for the workplace, and the accompanying HSE guidance sets out what a first aid kit or first aid box should contain. Bleeding control and trauma products support the management of catastrophic haemorrhage before emergency services arrive. Burn kits, burn gels and burn dressings cool and cover a burn injury in the first minutes after it occurs, and eye wash stations flush chemical or foreign body contamination from the eye. Resuscitation Council UK guidance sets out the equipment a primary care setting should hold for managing a collapsed patient, including airway adjuncts and other resuscitation equipment. Emergency grab bags bring core first aid and emergency equipment together for rapid response. Merlin Medical stocks first aid and emergency supplies from Aero Healthcare, SP Services and Reliance Medical, with fast UK dispatch and account ordering for primary care organisations.
