    Is there such a thing as the I.C.E program, In-Case of Emergencies, i think it was paramedics trying to get it going, aiming it at 17-25 year olds, it was putting ICE into your phone next to a name and number of a person to call in-case of an emergency, i remember hearing about it along time ago, but nothing since..

    I have it in my phone with parents/ doctors name next to it..

    Just wondering, Shane...

    You should recieve a forum ban for mentioning the word "Jedward" :P. But If i was looking through a phone to contact a Next of kin, i would normally look for mum, dad, home or a person who frequently texted the fone.

    There was a push for it, sponsored by Irish Credit Unions. There's an old thread abut it here. . . . somewhere.

    Yeah I think it was a good idea too. I would see it as something that could be mentioned in the CFR or OFA courses just like the RED card idea. It would at least get people talking about it.

    I first heard about this concept/idea on a basic first aid course so some of the organisations (Order of Malta in this case) do mention it in courses
