'Message in a Bottle' in Renfrewshire

 

Message in a Bottle provides emergency services with vital health information in the event of an emergency.  People who live alone or have health conditions may find it particularly useful.

 

Emergency details are stored in a plastic 'bottle' which is placed in the door of the fridge.  Emergency services will see the emergency sticker on the fridge door and can then locate the 'bottle'.

 

The 'bottle' is available free from Health Centres, Libraries and GP surgeries throughout Renfrewshire.

 

For more information regarding Message in a Bottle, please contact the ACUMEN office and ask for Andrea.
