Our History
MedicAlert® British Isles & Ireland has its head office near to Kings Cross in Central London. The office is staffed by nearly 40 paid employees who provide a complete support service to over 300,000 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.
