Message in a Bottle is a simple idea that encourages people to keep their basic personal and medical details in a common place, where, in cases of emergency, the Emergency teams can easily access them. It simply directs the emergency services to information stored in a plastic bottle which is kept in the fridge; vulnerable people or those with a medical condition enter their details on the form inside the bottle. It will include a photograph, health details, emergency contact, doctor, whether there are pets that need looking after and much more which will assist the Emergency Services.
It will save the Emergency Services valuable time identifying you and your emergency contacts. By telling whether you have special medication/allergies or not, it is a potential lifesaver and provides peace of mind to users and their friends and families. The bottles, message forms and service are free of charge to the public and are funded by Bray Lions Clubs. To date, we have distributed over 1,000 of these potential lifesavers around Bray.
The 'Message in a Bottle" information scheme 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 household fridge.
