N-ICE idea for mobile users

Sometimes you come across a good idea that’s worth passing on, like this one featured in this month’s edition of Hardwicke News.

Patients at the scene of an emergency often have mobile phones with them, but paramedics have no way of knowing which numbers they should call.

However, if a name is stored with the letters ICE (In Case of Emergency) at the beginning, hospital staff can quickly contact the relevant person. For more than one contact, names can be stored pre-fixed by ICE1, ICE2 and so on.

A simple idea, but a good one!
