A nurse is urging Australians to update the medical information on their phone after an incident occurred at a shopping centre.

Lauren said she was waiting for a Boost Juice on Tuesday when a woman at the shopping centre collapsed and hit her head. 

'I immediately went over to see if they needed any help.Having a duty of care and being comfortable doing basic life support, I was like alright I need to put my big girl pants on and step in,' she said in a video. 

'She was not in a good way at all.'
