Travel First Aid Kits
Travel First Aid Kit
The right travel first aid kit covers the everyday bumps, blisters and upset stomachs that can come with travelling, so you’re not searching for a pharmacy on your first night abroad.
What you need will depend on where you’re going, how long you’re travelling for and who you’re travelling with. Book a quick consultation and our team can talk you through what to pack and why.
What should a good travel first aid kit include?
A good starting point for most trips includes:
- Assorted plasters and blister plasters
- Antiseptic wipes and cream
- Sterile dressings and bandages
- Pain and fever relief
- Antihistamine tablets
- Rehydration sachets and digestive remedies
- Insect bite and sting relief
- Tweezers, scissors and safety pins
- Digital thermometer
- Emergency contact and allergy information
Exactly what you need can vary depending on your destination, the length of your trip and your individual health needs. A quick consultation can help you make sure you’re properly prepared.
Why is it worth getting right?
Minor injuries and stomach upsets can happen while travelling. Having the right essentials with you, and knowing how to use them, means you can deal with minor problems quickly rather than spending valuable time trying to find suitable products while abroad.
Deal with minor issues on the spot
Having basic first aid supplies with you means you’re prepared when minor problems occur.
Avoid the language barrier
Take familiar products that you understand rather than trying to interpret unfamiliar products and labels abroad.
Reassurance in remote areas
A well-prepared first aid kit can be particularly useful when travelling somewhere where the nearest pharmacy or healthcare facility may be some distance away.
A consultation is especially useful for

- Families travelling with young children
- Backpackers and people taking longer trips
