Each participant will need to bring their own personal first aid kit. You will also need your own personal medication if appropriate (e.g. inhalers etc.)

• Plasters – plenty of plasters, all sizes, preferably hypoallergenic.

• Blister Pads (“Compeed”) – large (heel) and small (toe)

• Antiseptic Wipes – at least 5-6 antiseptic wipes

• Knee Support (if required) – especially if you experience sore knees.

• Personal Medication if applicable, such as:

  • • Asthma inhaler

    • Adrenaline auto-injector / Epi-pen

    • Hayfever tablets

If you are taking any medication, these should be shown to your Expedition Supervisor or attending school staff on arrival. This includes paracetamol or over-the-counter medications.

Any medical condition, injury, illness or allergy must be declared on your Medical Consent Form so that your Expedition Supervisor is aware.

Each team will need a group first aid kit. On Karos Adventure expeditions, we will issue each team with a Group First Aid Kit, containing:

• Adhesive Wound Dressing 8cm x 6cm (1)

• Crepe Bandage 5cm x 4.5cm (1)

• Essential First Aid Card (1)

• Eyewash Phial 20ml (1)

• Microporous Tape 1.25cm x 5m (1)

• Safety Pins - assorted sizes (8)

• Splinter Remover (1)                                             

• Sterile Medical Wipes (3)

Our first aid kits are sealed so that they can be easily monitored and used items replaced prior to next use. They are intended for use in an emergency only and are not for personal use.
