Medic Alert

READING THIS COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE

Since it’s formation in 1989 the Lions Club of South Woodham Ferrers has always promoted the Medic Alert range of life-saving identification bracelets and necklets.

Medic Alert is the only non-profit making, registered charity (233705), providing a life-saving identification system for individuals with hidden medical conditions and allergies. This takes the form of body-worn bracelets or necklets bearing the Medic Alert 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 ID number and a 24-hour emergency telephone number that can access their details from anywhere in the world.

WHO NEEDS MEDIC ALERT?

You have any type of hidden medical condition
You have an allergy
You have had any type of implant
You take regular medication
You would like your blood group to be recorded
You have a living will or wish to be an organ donor
You simply want someone else to know if you have been involved in an emergency
