Our History
MedicAlert® British Isles & Ireland has its head office near Islington in central London. The office is staffed by nearly 40 paid employees who provide a complete support service to over 240,000 members, as well as processing thousands of application forms for membership every year. We also have 450 individuals that make up our dedicated MedicAlert® Supporter Network
MedicAlert® was founded in America in 1956 by Dr M Collins and Mrs Chrissie Collins after their daughter almost died following an allergic reaction to the horse serum used in a routine tetanus antitoxin test. From this small beginning, MedicAlert® has grown to a worldwide membership of over four million from around 40 different countries.
