How does MedicAlert work?

Font Size

Becoming a member of MedicAlert lets you live life safe in the knowledge that you’ll be protected in an emergency.

As a MedicAlert member, you wear a bracelet or Necklet (known as an Emblem) engraved with a personal identification number, main medical condition(s) and an emergency telephone number.

Each tailor-made Emblem bears the internationally recognised symbol of the medical profession. You are also provided with a personalised wallet card.

In an emergency, medical personnel have immediate access to vital information on the back of the MedicAlert disc. By phoning the emergency number, they can also gain further medical and personal information such as your name and address, doctor’s details, current drug therapy and next of kin. A translation service is available in over 100 languages.

Membership to the service – including a tailor-made Emblem – starts at just £19.95 plus the first year’s membership at £25. As a registered charity, MedicAlert can also provide free or subsidised membership to individuals on a limited income.
