Bluebird Care Petersfield has joined forces with the Lions Message in a Bottle scheme which is a simple idea designed to encourage people to keep their personal and medical details on a standard form and in a common location - the fridge.

Message in a Bottle is a simple idea designed to encourage people living on their own to keep basic personal and medical details somewhere it can be found quickly in an emergency.

The scheme gets paramedics and other healthcare professionals to check your fridge for relevant medical information such as allergies and medication taken.

The bottles are free and members of the public can get them from local health centres, doctors’ surgeries or chemists. Bluebird Care (Petersfield) will be offering these to all existing clients and new clients.

The bottles should be kept in the fridge where all healthcare professionals know to look for them and should contain all relevant medical information, including copies of repeat prescriptions and next of kin details.

If you would like a message in the bottle please contact Kerrey Merrick on 01730 262578.
