First Aid kits

Should I bring First Aid supplies with me on holiday?

If you suffer from any medical condition that requires prescription or specific medication, you should always bring it with you.

In addition, there are essential First Aid items every traveller should take with them on holiday. We suggest you pack:

  • Insect repellent
  • Antiseptic cream
  • Plasters
  • Cotton wool
  • Treatment for an upset stomach
  • A high factor sunscreen
  • After-sun treatment

What if I need more serious First Aid?

If you have an incident on holiday, our First Aid-certified Reps in your resort will be happy to help.

You should also ensure your travel insurance covers unforeseen medical expenses abroad. We offer inclusive holiday insurance with respected brokers at great value prices. More information about our insurance.
