Mission statement
Our mission is to make life-saving medicines and first aid training a normal part of everyday life. We believe emergency medicines should be readily available in public places, and that people should feel confident to use them in an emergency. By working with businesses, parents, schools, community & youth groups, and policy makers, we aim to build safer, more prepared communities.
We are a volunteer alliance made up of doctors, healthcare professionals, people living with allergies and other medical conditions, parents, and concerned citizens who care deeply about medical emergencies and community safety. We believe increased accessibility to first aid, including auto-injectors & emergency medicines will improve health outcomes for all those impacted in Ireland.
Making emergency medicines and training part of the community fabric.
What is MER doing?
Access to Medicines
Every day, people face emergencies where quick access to life-saving medicines can mean the difference between life and death. Yet, too often, these vital resources are out of reach, leaving families, schools, and communities vulnerable. We are working to ensure emergency medicines are available in public places when they’re needed most.
Confidence to Act
Having the right tools is only part of the solution, people also need the knowledge and confidence to use them. Through first aid training and community education, we empower individuals to respond effectively in critical moments, turning bystanders into potential lifesavers.
Building Prepared Communities
True safety comes from preparedness. By working with parents, schools, youth groups, and policymakers, we are modernising first aid across Ireland. Together, we’re creating safer, stronger, and more resilient communities where everyone is ready to protect and support one another.
