I'll cut to the  chase.  I think our new  You ID Me upgrade option is  the best  we've ever offered:

Choose a FREE  replacement emergency ID product  EVERY year!

Why?  When you sign up  for Platinum Plan and choose to pay by monthly direct debit you pay a low  payment of just £4.99 . You  immediately get the benefits of the Platinum Plan applied to your account  including: - 

• ​​Alert's to your    contact's  phone in an emergency
• ​Sharing of    first responder contact details
• Speed dial my emergency contacts  function 
• ​Speed dial emergency  services​ function 
• ​Legal medical document upload facility 
• ​Photo ID   inclusion 
• YouTube video  integration

Personally I think the first bullet is worth the   £4.99 but to get all the above PLUS  : -  

• Free replacement  ID product annually 

...is I think absolutely astonishing.

So if you have just activated your ID product that I would definitely encourage you to consider  monthly direct debit as a low cost way of upgrading your  service to our safest ever ID and alert plan.

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetically inherited condition affecting mainly the lungs and digestive  system. One in 25 people have a single  'faulty' gene. If their partner has  a faulty gene too, then there is a one in four chance of a pregnancy resulting in a baby with CF.

People with CF take a great deal of medication. So it's vitally important for any carer of someone with Cystic Fibrosis to know that  the person they're looking after is a CF patient. 

Meals need to be supplemented with pancreatic enzymes  and regimented  doses of antibiotics are an essential  part of the daily medication regime.

In an emergency it would be really important for a first responder or paramedic to be aware that the person that they are treating has cystic fibrosis.  And there are many reasons for this. 

Knowing what medications the patient is on would be very helpful.  Indeed some CF patients are 'fitted' with titanium ports beneath their skin  so that IV medications and  blood sampling is made easier and less painful.

Knowing  this and knowing what sized syringe to use would be vitally important for a paramedic.

If someone with cystic fibrosis  has an emergency and is 'out cold'; unable to communicate with a helper or paramedic, there would be no way for the first responder to know that the person  (with the emergency) has cystic fibrosis.

This is a big problem because  treatment for the cystic fibrosis sufferer could be    SO MUCH BETTER  if paramedics / ambulance staff had the awareness of i) the patient's medical condition/s  ii) more  specifically the medications that they are taking regularly  and iii) any medical equipment the patient has fitted.

You ID Me  helps people with cystic fibrosis in any emergency situation because it allows them to   wear an identity solution enabling any first responder, paramedic or ambulance crew member  to : - 

1. Immediately identify that they have cystic fibrosis
2. Give  fast information about all the medications that they  are taking
3. Provide a positive photo ID and paerhaps just as importantly....
4. Alert their spouse, next of kin, family or other emergency contact that they are having an emergency.

It's a very good idea to carry a form of emergency medical ID if you  have been prescribed and regularly take any anticoagulant medicine  such  as : - 

• heparin.
• warfarin (Coumadin)
• rivaroxaban (Xarelto)
• dabigatran (Pradaxa)
• apixaban (Eliquis)
• edoxaban (Savaysa)
• enoxaparin (Lovenox)
• fondaparinux (Arixtra)

We've created  our Anticoagulant Emergency ID Bracelet for people that take these medicines  so that paramedics and first responders can be made aware immediately   before  they start to  treat and possibly administer  other medicines  to a patient that in an emergency situation.
