About Us
MedicAlert is the UK's only charity medical ID services provider and is unique in its approach. As we are not motivated by profit, we focus on providing the best service we can to those living with medical conditions and to provide our service to as many people as possible.
We provide access to our members vital medical information in an emergency, to ensure they receive fast and appropriate care based on their medical requirements. Our members include anyone with a medical condition, allergy or other health need.
We hold a digital health record for each member that can be shared immediately 24/7 anywhere in the world, should it be needed. Our members wear MedicAlert IDs on pulse points so they will be seen in an emergency. These are engraved with the members' most vital medical information, along with our worldwide 24/7 emergency helpline and their unique membership number. They can be life saving.
The peace of mind of wearing a MedicAlert ID can support the confidence to be more physically and socially active and to remain as independent as possible. This supports improved physical and mental health. Friends and family also benefit from knowing their loved ones are safe.
