How we support people living with dementia

MedicAlert offers people living with dementia a free MedicAlert ID along with their first year's membership for free. Initially thanks to a dontation The McLay Dementia Trust and now by our supporter's and member's donations, we can provide a programme that can support everyone.

If you know someone living with dementia, let them know about this offer and sign them up for the Herbert Protocol.

Peace of mind, everywhere you go

Nearly 1 million people in the UK are living with dementia. 70% of people living with dementia will go missing at least once with over 40,000 going missing for the first time every year in the UK. MedicAlert provide the Herbert Protocol in a digital form to help find people when they go missing.

The Herbert Protocol is a FREE service that has informaton about someone living with dementia's life such as routines, favouritte places, past addresses and a recent photo. We work with police forces across the UK so that this information is intantly available and there is the best chance of this person being found safely.
