Which bandages do I need in my first aid kit?
That random box of plasters you’ve got hiding in your cupboard somewhere probably isn’t going to cut it when you’ve got a nasty wound to deal with!

You’ll also need small, medium and large sterile gauze dressings, a triangular bandage, crêpe rolled bandages and sterile eye dressings.
What should be in a car first aid kit?
Keeping a first aid kit in your car or vehicle is really important in case of an emergency, especially if you spend a lot of time driving.
