Message in a Bottle Scheme

message-in-a-bottleWhen time is saved, lives are saved!

This is a voluntary scheme for anyone living at home who might be reassured to know that essential information would be readily available to the Emergency Services should they suffer an accident or sudden illness. The scheme ensure that vital information is available not only to identify you, but to advise of relevant illnesses, medication and contact addresses.

A white plastic bottle containing a form containing vital information about you that could save your life due to the speed with which the Emergency Services could respond to your individual needs. The bottle is placed where the Emergency Services are trained to look, in the refrigerator door. A green cross sticker is placed on the inside of the main house door, or where it is considered would be most obvious and another sticker on the door of the fridge.

The information provided should include where you keep your medication and latest prescription, contact details, major medical conditions, personal doctor and anything considered necessary that would need attention in those first critical moments.

Bottles can now be obtained from MICA Centre. Found on the High Street, West Mersea, Essex and SEAVIEW CAFE, Seaview Avenue, West Mersea, Essex. Or phone  Lion Roy Chamberlain on tel. 07779819170
