Abstract
A survey of occupational physicians of the Food Industry Medical Officers Group was undertaken to establish details of medical kits supplied by their organizations to business travellers. The most common approach was an in-house medical kit with instructions emphasizing self treatment of the common ailments of travellers such as motion sickness, sleeplessness, diarrhoea, indigestion and headaches. The majority of kits included a small supply of needles, syringes, IV cannulae etc either in a commercial 'Aids Kit' or as inhouse supplies. Antimalarials were provided either as a standard kit item or as required. About half provided antibiotics for the self treatment of infections. Very few provided a telephone number for use in the event of medical emergencies. A standard medical kit specification is proposed.
