Health & Safety
A Message in a Bottle helps emergency services personnel to save valuable time in identifying an individual very quickly and knowing if they have any allergies or take special medication. Paramedics, police, fire-fighters and social services support this life-saving initiative.
The idea (thanks to Sue Palmer for raising this) is that you put your personal medical details in a sealed and labelled container and give it to the scorers before the game. If you are involved in an accident or have a medical incident during the game, the scorer will hand your container to the paramedic.
This scheme provides peace of mind that prompt and appropriate medical assistance can be provided, and next of kin / emergency contacts can be notified. The form will only be given to paramedics and doctors if you have an accident or fall ill whilst playing for Norfolk Seniors CC.
The Club and its officials will have no access to these records at any time. This has saved lives in the past – and could save yours!
The Club is sourcing containers – but in the meantime, please feel free to use your own.
Please feel free to download and use the medical form below - then you can print it off at home and fill it out at your leisure, all ready for the first game of the season.
