[Oxford-medics] Buying first aid kit?

[penguin at riseup.net]

Hi

There's a kit list in the handbook the medics gave us, and a list on  
their website -

Kate - I've got at least one spare space blanket that I can give/loan to you.

I didn't get one of the kits the medics were selling, so not too sure  
of quantities, but you might want tio think about more gloves.  
Hopefully you'll never have to use them, but it's worth remembering  
that you'll need at least one pair per patient. So if your kit only  
has three pairs of gloves, you only have enough kit to treat 3 people.

I'm planning on being at the medic working group that I assume will be  
taking place at the gathering this weekend. I'll ask about general  
kit, cos it might be that there will be a central supply of basic  
stuff like gloves so that if you run out during the camp you can go  
and grab some.

>> Most of my stuff has arrived, but they were out of stock on some bits.

>> And there was something I forgot. If you are going to put in an order,
>> any chance you could get this for me:
>> 2 x packs of skin closures - http://tinyurl.com/lsuxt9
>> Comes to about £1.20.
