Site Review: Medic Alert.

Web address: http://www.medicalert.co.uk/

Brief Rating: A very good site.

Its very important when you're out and about to carry some form of identification in case of accident, Particularly if you have a disability or long term medical condition.  It may be imperative that hospital or medical staff are made aware of your details in case urgent treatment is required, for example, you may have a severe allergic reaction to a particular drug.  This registered charity offers you the opportunity to buy and to have engraved, relevant information on identification discs on bracelets and neck chains  which all carry the recognized international Medic Alert logo.  and telephone number.
