In an emergency, such as experiencing status epilepticus, every second truly counts. Early treatment can save your life and limit the chance of brain damage. Those caring for you can support you best if they know the cause of your seizures, avoiding misleading signs that can be mistakenly associated to drunkenness or sleepiness.
MedicAlert ID allows access to information about your medical conditions, history and any medications you may take. Remaining independent and active supports both physical and mental health, resulting in a better quality of life.

"Seizures regularly lead to a person with epilepsy being confused and vulnerable. They can happen at any time without much warning. If the people around them are not aware they have epilepsy this can lead to unnecessary visits to hospital and people not respecting or helping them as they should.
If it is easily identifiable that a person has epilepsy, it can help them to be treated with respect, and dignity and to get the right care at the right time."

"People with epilepsy tell us they are often unfairly accused of being drunk as they recover from a seizure.
Young people with the condition feel they are at increased risk of being wrongly accused, as slurred speech, confusion and the inability to walk properly after a seizure, lead people to think they have been binge drinking or taking drugs."
Clare Pelham, CEO - Epilepsy Society
We recommend anyone with epilepsy to wear a medical ID. A person will become unable to communicate during a seizure so wearing a piece of jewellery will help the first responder to identify the condition and what medical treatment is needed.
Engraved on your medical ID jewellery is your membership number, the 24/7 emergency helpline number and your most vital information, so we can engrave details about your medication.
People can be wrongly accused of being drunk if experiencing a seizure so wearing a medical ID will help in identifying the correct care in an emergency.
