MedicAlert

MedicAlert is a global charity that provides medical ID jewellery for people with hidden medical conditions or allergies. Situated on the pulse points, it displays the international medical symbol to quickly identify your condition and speed up treatment in an emergency. Because every moment matters.

MedicAlert members benefit from peace of mind that goes far beyond their bracelet. Their conditions are reviewed by medically trained staff, who prioritise the text engraved on each piece of jewellery. A detailed medical record is also held in MedicAlert's secure database, which can be accessed 24/7 by emergency responders.

The Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust (IDDT)

The Insulin Dependent Diabetes Trust (IDDT) is a registered charity that was formed in 1994 to help and support people living with diabetes and their carers. All the volunteers and trustees have somehow been affected by diabetes and so understand the needs and complications of living with diabetes, either as the patient or a carer.

The IDDT aims to raise awareness of important issues that affect diabetes patients and provide information in a non-medical language to help everyone affected by diabetes understand the condition better. They believe that whilst diabetes needs care and attention it needn't rule your life.
