Plasters of all sizes, field dressings, and burns are the most commonly used. Tablets, too.
Something people rarely consider is a tourniquet. Or haemorrhage gauze dressing. You don’t get them in everyday kits, but should do.
DR’s ABC doesn’t really cover it, but if you’ve got a catastrophic bleed, chest compressions or a bandage isn’t going to save anyone.
Got mine from Screwfix.....lots of stuff inside. Once you take the plastic divider out you can get a lot more stuff inside to suit any particular needs. i.e. Haemorrhoid cream etc etc.

I would also recommend getting a tourniquet, but I can't recommend strongly enough that you buy a genuine CAT tourniquet, not a cheap knock off one where the windlass is liable to break. The other alternative, though not as good would be a tourni-key, which are cheaper. A second recommendation is to learn how to use it. Having taught trauma/first aid training it is amazing how many people haven't a clue how they work and assume you just tie something around a limb tightly. They do work, they save lives.
Thanks for input... I made a basket on amazon... It tots up quick about £50

Depends what you want it for If you've ever actually needed one you'll realise that commercial first-aid pouches are useless for anything beyond a mild headache
If its to deal with a real accident or genuine medical emergency I'd supplement a commercial one with useful stuff like Nige's big gel haemostatic gauze patches (they really are good for serious grazing and trauma), proper big strong bandages and pads, a big reel of medical tape, velcro straps & strong scissors and a proper thick blanket, then for minor cuts superglue (yes) and finger bandage

I have a Skoda supplied kit in mine and SWMBOs car - I go through every few years and replace everything. I have a few sealed capsules of saline. Good for washing wounds or grit out of your eye. I also have some inadine patches (iodine impregnated gauze) which is good for anything that looks infected.
We also tend to carry a pack of baby wipes in the car, even though the kids are 13 & 15, which are good for cleaning lots of things!
