Life Saving '
Message in a Bottle'
Older and vulnerable
people throughout the area are being encouraged to pick up a SAFELINK
bottle, in which you can place life-saving information, including
details on medical conditions.
They are available from
doctors’ surgeries, chemists, libraries, post offices and other
community centres. The bottles, which have already saved lives in Perth
and Kinross, have a form inside, to record any illnesses and allergies,
your doctor’s details and contact details for your next of kin or
carer.
They even ask about your
pets (so as they can be looked after in the event of an emergency).
The forms are available
in Braille, tape, large print, and various community languages, upon
request. Put the bottle in your fridge, and use the stickers to let the
emergency services know it’s there, should a situation arise where you
are unable to give them the information they need.
