Medical Alert

[woodelf]

Anyone know of High Street chemists or similar, which sell the medical alert bracelets, those in which you can put crucial info etc? (I will check the option to receive an email, but if anyone answers and I don't, then that option hasn't worked, yet again and I apologise in advance for delay in reply. Ta Muchly.

I know Amazon do... although that may not help you much. I will have a look though and see what else I can find xx

Hi Pixie, Many Thanks for your pI did briefly look at the Amazon, but my partner would rather see the item "in the flesh" so to speak, But Great Thanks again - and Great too that the receive email option worked, so Well Done AB!

Glad to hear it:-)
In fact, I expected chemists etc to be doing them, but but Google has suggested jewellery shops near me x

A jewellers or Argos?

As an alternative, you can enter this info into your mobile phone and have your phone serve the same role as the bracelet - so you don't need a bracelet.

Here are some examples:

SOS Talisman is one of the main companies in the field. They've got their own shop in Ilford but you can buy online or through any of the stores listed here:

I've been a member of https://www.medicalert.org.uk/ for 50 years, since I found I was allergic to penicillin. Costs me £35 a year, but its piece of mind and info can be accessed from anywhere by phone. One person did mention to me that you should have a necklace rather than a bracelet. If you are in an accident, you could lose your hand (and bracelet), but you won't live anyway if you lose your head! Happy thought for a Sunday!!

I tried to answer this yesterday, but I was "told" cannot reach this page", so I'm trying again. Very Many Thanks Indeed guys and I'll have a closer look at the amazon one Pixie and in argos too Tuvok, but I'm not hopeful about phones Elli and, of course, a very comprehensive reply from you Chris, with a mention of Boots in there too, so will call in there too! Hopefully, this message will not disappear before I get to send it, so here goes, Ta!

When I used to blue water sail I had aluminium dog tags stamped with Full name, Dof B, Blood Group, Nil Allergy and House No/Post Code. Proper Jonah I was. :-)
