Cathy and Wayne are joined by Dr Will Duffin, Joint Medical Director at World Extreme Medicine to chat about why carrying a first aid kit is a REALLY good thing to do when you are out and about in the great outdoors. Among the usual suspects (plasters, paracetamol etc) there are plenty of other things to consider including sanitary towels, duck tape, Buffs and walking poles.
Learn what THE most important piece of first aid equipment is, why you should never take Ibroprufen during an endurance event, what applications of a tampon to avoid and why a tick remover is now an essential piece of kit. All this AND Dr Will's "All You Need To Know About Blisters in 60 seconds" makes this podcast an essential listen for anyone who loves venturing outdoors.
