Did you know?

If you own a mobile phone you can create a special group under the heading ICE. The group should contain details of your doctor and person to be contacted. The emergency services will always look on your mobile phone for any information relevant to the situation you are in.

We have become aware that in case of emergency, or illness whilst on a U3A outing we would not hold relevant details of any medical conditions or contact with a relative, friend or doctor. It would be helpful for all members to carry a card in their purse, wallet, or rucksack with any relevant details. Please also include details of any medication. Emergencies can happen at any time, dining out, trips to museums or walking, please do not think you are fool proof.

People living alone, on regular medication should also obtain a plastic pot, to be kept in the fridge with a copy of their current prescription. These may be available from your chemist, or your local Lion's club.
