🌟 Are you aware of the Take Home Naloxone Program? 🌟

The immediate and life-saving treatment of opioid overdose includes the administration of Naloxone (an opioid antagonist) 💊. Naloxone can be given intranasally and is available free of charge from participating pharmacies 🏥 across Australia. Opioid overdose is a situation where first aiders can make a difference in patient outcomes 🏃‍♂️💪.

We have released an Emergency Opioid Overdose Kit, along with accompanying signage 🆘. More information at the link below 👇:

🔗 https://www.thefirstaidshopau.com.au/product/opioid-overdose-kit/

🛠️ What's Included in the Opioid Overdose Kit?

1 x Needle/syringe picker
1 x Alcohol swabs
1 x First aid shears ✂️

🔍 What drugs and medications does Naloxone work on? Naloxone reverses the effects of opioids, is fast acting (takes 2–3 minutes to start working) 🕒, and can be a life-saving measure for people experiencing adverse effects of opioids 💔.

Warehouse Renovations 🔨 🏭 🪛

It’s only been 6 years since we moved into our new warehouse but we need more space!

Stage 1 is to move all our currently stock and storage out of the warehouse. Thanks to our neighbours at Enviroswim Fresh Water Swimming Pools who this week kindly took 10 pallets of stock to store, we love you guys 🩵! Now we just have to try and fit everything else into offices, hallways, cupboards, training rooms and anywhere else we can find!

Work begins on Monday to install completely new racking including long span, pallet racking and a new mezzanie level for additional storage.

The work is due to take a week and we can’t wait to show you the result!

Here’s a short timelapse of today’s work. The team will be back tomorrow to finish it off ready for the contractor to start on Monday.
