We are so excited to announce that MedicAlert has been awarded a finalist position for not one, but two awards!

The SME MK and Buckinghamshire Awards, in association with The University of Buckingham, celebrate the achievements of local businesses in the Milton Keynes and Buckinghamshire area. We are thrilled to be recognised in such a competitive and highly regarded competition.

We are in the running for ‘Milton Keynes Business of the Year’ - sponsored by MK Business Centre - which showcases those who are considered exceptional across all aspects of running an SME. We are also finalists within the ‘Not for Profit Business of the Year’ award, an award which is particularly close to our hearts as being a Not for Profit is at the very core of our organisation, shaping our aims, values and service.

As a charity, MedicAlert continues to offer the original as well as the most complete and medically sound medical ID service available. Our purpose remains clear: to help all individuals living with medical conditions to be safe in the event of an emergency. We do this by providing their vital medical information to first responders and healthcare professionals, which helps them to make fast and accurate initial care decisions.

We pride ourselves on the fact that our members value our service; their feedback shows that our support provides the confidence to remain active and independent, as well as peace of mind to themselves and their loved ones. Being a MedicAlert member assures they will be safer in the event of an incident or emergency, no matter where they are.

“If you met me in the street you wouldn't know that there was anything different about me. That is why my MedicAlert is there; a subtle reminder to others that I have a serious heart condition.” - Emma Perry

We are delighted to be recognised by the SME MK and Buckinghamshire Awards for our commitment to our members and want to thank the whole MedicAlert team as well as you, our members, for supporting and trusting us since 1964.

“MedicAlert saved me in Corfu a few years ago. Complex Congenital Heart Disease - the complexity is hard enough to explain here in the UK. Impossible in Corfu where the doctors didn't even speak English. My husband called the MedicAlert 24/7 translation line and I got the help I needed.” - Sarah Thompson
