MedicAlert Foundation

Services

MedicAlert provides a life-saving identification system for people with hidden medical conditions and / or allergies. MedicAlert is a non-profit making registered charity and has a worldwide membership of over 4 million from around 40 different countries

The MedicAlert identification system is in the form of body-worn bracelets or necklets (known as MedicAlert Emblems) bearing the MedicAlert symbol on the disc and supported by a 24-hour emergency telephone service.

Each member receives an Emblem that is engraved with the wearer's main medical condition(s) or vital details, a personal identification number and a 24-hour emergency telephone number that can access their details from anywhere in the world in over 100 languages.

As well as identifying that you have a hidden medical condition or allergy, MedicAlert can be useful if you:

• have a living will
• have had an implant
• take regular medication
• want someone else to know if you have been involved in an emergency
• wish to be an organ donor
• would like your blood group to be recorded
