I submitted a report regarding the relocation of the First Aid Kit on the 737-700 fleet. The First Aid Kit (FAK) has been relocated to compartment C-10. After takeoff; this new location caught my attention causing me to wonder if I would be able to retrieve this piece of emergency equipment because of the close proximity to the slide bussel on the door. I tried to take the FAK out of the compartment and was unable to do so. I brought this to the attention of my crew members who also tried and did not succeed. Upon arrival and after all customers deplaned I tried again and was able to retrieve the FAK with the door open. I have since flown on other 737-700s and encountered the same issue.
B737-700 Flight Attendant reported that the new storage location for the emergency medical kit does not allow the kit to be accessed in flight due to conflict with the slide bustle when the door is closed.
