Does your First Aid Kit has the BS stamp of approval? British Standard (BS) regulations for first aid are the only recognised standard in the UK.

Replacing Existing Kits
Check your first aid kits regularly as some items can expire. If items have passed their expiry date, then they may be ineffective and unsafe and should be disposed of as soon as possible. Always check the manufacturer expiry date.
