Do emergency responders look for a medical ID?

Yes, first aiders, emergency services, and medical professionals are trained to look for medical IDs.

Australian’s have been wearing them since WW2. You can find a handmade medical ID bracelet on display at the Australian War Memorial, worn by an Australian Ambulance Officer.

They are now worn worldwide, and Emergency ID Australia is a leader in their field, with the largest and most diverse range available worldwide.

When should I wear my medical ID?

24/7. Wear your emergency ID as often as possible. Most of our products are suitable for 24-hour wear, even in water—for example, showers, baths, pools, oceans, and spas. You never know when you will have a medical incident or emergency, so wear it as often as possible.

What are the benefits of emergency ID?

In an emergency, minutes matter! You may not be able to speak for yourself, but an emergency ID can speak for you.

Take out the “guesswork” and clearly show current medical conditions, as symptoms of common ailments can be easily misdiagnosed.
First responders can quickly obtain details of your emergency contact. That way, you are not left alone in the hospital, as medical staff can inform loved ones.
Prompt diagnosis is critical to effective treatment.

“Medical Identification Tags

A person with a serious medical condition such as diabetes, a drug allergy, or a heart condition should carry information about the condition on a necklace or bracelet, or on a card that can be carried in a pocket or wallet, so that proper care can be given in an emergency.

Be sure to check for a medallion or card if you find yourself in the role of rescuer. If you or a member of your family has a life-threatening medical condition, obtain a medical identification tag or medallion from your local pharmacy and wear it at all times.”
