first aid kit doctor helpIf you or someone in the family has to deal with a life-threatening medical condition, a holiday trip is often a stressful experience. Here’s a quick checklist of how to prepare:

  1. Prepare a first-aid kit specific for the illness
  2. Have enough medication to last a week or two longer than the trip just in case
  3. Arrange for a letter from your doctor to justify medications for customs/police overseas
  4. Research the medical assistance likely to be available at your destination
  5. Arrange for medibands in the language of your destination
  6. Make sure your prescription forms will be up-to-date for when you come back and you have enough medicine to last until you get to the chemist

Consider one of the ready-made Mediband first-aid kits on our site – we also carry travel specific first-aid kits that will cater for everyone in the family. Add your illness-specific meds to the first-aid kit!

Our customers love our Medibands and MedibandPlus products. Here’s why:

“When I saw these, I could not believe my eyes. This is the most practical, and sensible idea I have seen in years. Not only are Medic Alert's bracelets ugly, and old fashioned, they snag on clothing, and are easy to lose when the links break, are extremely expensive, you HAVE to join their annual payment scheme too, and the space in which you engrave your details is far too small to fit in all the information you need to record. For instance, I have the following medical conditions: Asthma, Anaphylaxis to Penicillin, Allergy to Adrenalin if injected in a vein, and Gastric Bypass details. With mediband, I only needed to purchase two bracelets, one for the anaphylaxis, and the other to record all the other information at the back. YOU ARE AWESOME MEDIBAND. Thankyou for keeping me safe. I can now go on holiday to Australia and swim at Waterworld with the peace of mind that I am ok if something happens to me."
