Buckingham and Bletchley MP Callum Anderson has paid a visit to the MedicAlert UK headquarters to learn more about the vital role the charity plays.
MedicAlert UK – based in Leighton Buzzard - works to ensure that no medical condition or allergy limits a person’s confidence, dignity, independence, or safety. It provides a life saving service to thousands of people living with a wide range of medical conditions and allergies.
It ensures that in an emergency, the most vital medical information of the people they support is available to first responders and emergency services through a piece of medical ID that is linked to a digital health record and 24/7 emergency line.
“It was a real privilege to visit MedicAlert, an innovative organisation here in the constituency with a national and global impact,” Mr Anderson said, “Hearing directly from local members and their families about the peace of mind their medical ID bracelets provide – and how they can be life-saving in an emergency – was incredibly powerful.
“It’s inspiring to see a charity that has been supporting people for over 60 years making such a difference locally, nationally and globally.”
Rob Burley, CEO of MedicAlert UK, added: “It was a pleasure to welcome Callum to meet the MedicAlert team and some of our local members.
“Access to fast, accurate details can be life-saving in an emergency, and by providing this, we not only support individuals but also help the NHS deliver quicker, safer care.”
