EMERGENCY/MEDICAL INFORMATION ON PHONES

#VisibleLocalTrusted | Did you know that smart phones have a built‑in Medical ID / Emergency Information feature that can be accessed even when your phone is locked? 📲⚕️

It takes less than two minutes to set up, and it can make all the difference in an emergency.

Even if you’re lucky enough not to have any medical conditions, it’s still incredibly important. Here’s why:

🚨 It helps us identify you quickly 

In a serious incident, every second counts. If you’re unable to speak, your Medical ID gives emergency services your name, age, and key details straight away.

🚨 It provides vital medical information 

Allergies, medications, medical conditions, or emergency contacts, this information helps paramedics make the safest decisions for you on the spot.

🚨 It helps us reunite lost phones with their owners 

If your phone is found, the Medical ID can provide a name and emergency contact, making it far easier for us (or a good Samaritan) to get it back to you.

🚨 It supports vulnerable family members

Setting up Medical IDs for children, elderly relatives, or anyone with additional needs ensures they always have essential information with them.

🚨 It works even when your battery is low or your phone is locked  

No passcode needed, emergency responders can access it instantly.

A few minutes of preparation today could protect you tomorrow. Please take a moment to set yours up and encourage friends and family to do the same. 🧑🤳
