Dr Phil Kieran: What do I need to pack in our family first aid kit?

My first aid kit would be a bit different to what you’ll typically find on the shelves

The question of what to pack in a first aid kit for children is different.

My children are aged four and one, and we’re bringing them abroad on holiday next month. What are the first aid essentials we need to bring with us?

What to bring in a first aid kit is a great question. I’m always fascinated with these kits and whenever I see them in a pharmacy, I can’t help but see what the manufacturers think we need.
