What should be in a family first aid kit?

A family first aid kit should include assorted plasters, sterile dressings, bandages, antiseptic wipes, medical tape, scissors, tweezers, disposable gloves and a foil blanket. For homes with young children, child-friendly plasters and a paediatric kit are also recommended.

What is the best first aid kit for home use?

The best first aid kit for home use is one sized to your household. A medium or large universal first aid kit suits most family homes, while a small or home and travel kit is ideal for cars, caravans and days out. Many families keep one main kit at home and a compact kit in the car.

Do I need a separate first aid kit for children?

A dedicated children's or paediatric first aid kit is useful as it contains items suited to treating younger children and is essential for nurseries, childminders and schools. For general family use, a universal kit covers the needs of both adults and children.

How often should I check and restock my first aid kit?

Check your first aid kit at least every few months, replacing any used or out-of-date items such as plasters, dressings and antiseptic wipes. Jax First Aid offers refills so you can keep your family kit fully stocked.
