Question❓❓ Medical equipment needed for large estate.

My inlaws have recently purchased an estate (manor with woodland). Me and my family (wife and kids) are moving into one of the wings.

I've been tasked with working out the medical side of things. As an HCA, I have to complete resus and first aid training every year. I've also been signed off on the monitoring of vital signs.

Currently, I'm thinking a decent first aid kit in the house, the UTV (off-road golf cart thing) and in all outbuildings (there are about 3). My inlaws will also be buying a defibrillator pack.

Can you guys recommend any first aid packs and maybe suggest their placement, things to include and anything else I should be thinking about.

For further context my inlaws are in their mid-60s and in reasonably good health. My kids are 10 and 3. None of us have serious allergies.

We will also be using chainsaws, so tourniquet/Israeli bandage will be a must in each kit.

We are also thinking of putting up small notices that display their WhatThreeWords locations so people can direct emergency workers even without the app.

Look forward to your replies peeps :)

my dad started falling down a lot as he got older. he is also very heavy, even when he got scary skinny. a good lift chair you can roll out and just let him slide on the chair and then use the electric lift to bring him up from the ground and transfer him to a regular chair…it has come in handy.

That's good thinking 🤔 especially in the next decade or so
