How does MedicAlert work?
MedicAlert members wear a custom made bracelet, necklet or watch (known as an Emblem) engraved with their personal identification number, main medical condition(s) and the 24 hour emergency telephone number, housed at the London Ambulance Service. Each tailor-made Emblem bears the internationally recognised symbol for medicine. Members also receive a personalised wallet card containing more detailed information on their conditions and next of kin information.
