East
Anglian Ambulance Service launched a national "In
case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign in May 2005 with
the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston and in
association with Vodafone's annual life savers award.
The idea is that you store the word "ICE"
in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter
the number of the person you would want to be contacted
"In Case of Emergency".
In
an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff
will then be able to quickly find out who your next
of kin are and be able to contact them.
This
excellent idea is the brainchild of East Anglian Ambulance
Service paramedic Bob Brotchie and has gathered pace
since the July 2005 bomb attacks in London.
