Annual membership fees are £36 per year. If you pay by Direct Debit, the fee will be just £33 per year, which means you get 12 months for the price of 11 months.

As a MedicAlert member, you are able to check and update your record online on a regular basis to ensure it is up-to-date, via your 'MyMedicAlert' account. This will also enable you to set up a Direct Debit for your membership renewal, track your purchases and much more. Once your 'MyMedicAlert' account is switched on, all membership communications will be via email, helping to reduce costs and save the environment. However, you will still be able to call us, email or write to us if you need any assistance with managing your record or ordering medical ID jewellery, just as before. Simply click on 'MyMedicAlert' at the top of any page and follow the instructions for existing members.

MedicAlert jewellery and membership go hand-in-hand to protect you in an emergency, therefore we do not sell our jewellery without membership. The central element of membership is your full medical record, checked by our Registered Nurses. Your jewellery is engraved with your most vital medical information along with a unique membership number which is used by those caring for you to access your full record in an emergency. You can update your full record as often as you require, and any changes are reviewed by our nurses to ensure they are medically accurate and correctly prioritised.

Because paramedics and emergency clinicians trust the MedicAlert system. The emblem is internationally recognised, and the helpline gives responders instant access to accurate information, updated by Registered Nurses. This reduces delays and prevents incorrect treatment.
