Allergy UK and MedicAlert

The MedicAlert Foundation UK and the Community Hospitals Association have partnered to support patients, carers and healthcare professionals in community hospital settings. The partnership brings together MedicAlert’s expertise in emergency preparedness with the Community Hospitals Association’s commitment to improving patient care and experiences. Together, we aim to raise awareness of how MedicAlert can support safer, more informed care and help people feel more confident and independent.

The Community Hospitals Association is an independent, membership-led organisation that has represented community hospitals across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for over 50 years, connecting people and sharing knowledge to strengthen and champion their role in health and care. Governed by a volunteer Board and sustained entirely through membership, sponsorship and donations rather than central funding, the CHA works to give community hospitals a trusted, unified national voice.

Supporting you beyond the hospital

Leaving hospital can be an important step towards getting back to everyday life, but it can also bring uncertainty as you transition back home. Through the partnership between MedicAlert and the Community Hospitals Association, MedicAlert members can benefit from greater reassurance and support during this transition.

Your MedicAlert medical record can also hold important information from your hospital stay, including previous diagnoses, treatments, procedures, and other relevant medical history. This means your healthcare information can remain accessible beyond discharge, helping you and healthcare professionals have a clearer picture of your medical needs.

Combined with your MedicAlert ID and 24/7 emergency service, your essential medical information is there when you need it, helping you feel more confident and supported as you return home and manage your health in the community.

“Community hospitals do the extraordinary work of getting patients ready for the real world. By working together, we can ensure that once they are back in their communities, their medical history is always there to speak for them, keeping them safe, independent, and out of the hospital.”  – Rob Burley, Chief Executive for MedicAlert
