MESSAGE IN A BOTTLESAVES LIVES |
||
This simple but effective scheme provides vulnerable people or people living on their own with vital life saving information in a common place, the fridge, where it can easily be found in the event of an emergency.
Two labels, one on the inside of the front door and the other on the fridge, alerts the Emergency Services that this information is available. The information stored in this readily identifiable container includes personal details, doctor’s name and telephone number, a brief description of any medical conditions, allergies and family contact details.
Any Repeat Prescriptions can also be stored in this container, making sure current medication details are made available.
Why the fridge? It’s the most likely place to survive a fire.
It can save lives, if nothing else it will save the Emergency Services valuable time and money searching for vital information.
Message in a Bottle is available FREE of charge from your GP Surgery, Pharmacy or local Lions Club.
Most Lions Clubs in Somerset, Devon & Cornwall are operating the “Message in a Bottle” scheme.
Check if there is a Lions Club near you or contact the “Message in a Bottle” (MiaB) coordinator for the South West:
