Medical and Pet cards

One of the key reasons for people becoming a client of Where There Is A Will is to make it easy for those who need to be able to access their information to do so without fuss or frustration as when an emergency is involved, and time is of the essence.

As a means of assisting our clients who wish to have an additional level of peace of mind when it comes to matters concerning their personal health and the care of any pets they may have, we have created a print out the size of a credit card designed to fit into a wallet or purse.

This will help should an incident take place, such as fainting while out walking, or suddenly collapsing in a shopping centre. The first thing that the police and/or medical crew try to establish is the identity of the person whose aid they have come to. By having the information on the card on hand it means that enquiries regarding medical history of the person involved can be sought with one quick call, and that before the person has arrived at any hospital the right medication can be available and administered without delay.

When it comes to recording details of a person's medication our clients can either make reference to the prescribing Doctor or Medical Clinic, or they can record the actual medication and dosage amounts. All we ask them to do is to remember to update the information when either a change in their medication has taken place or their treatment has concluded.

As far as pets go, the card would be very handy for clients who may live alone as it will indicate to the authorities that there may be a distressed animal back at the clients residence and that suitable short term accommodation may need to be arranged for their pet's while our client is recovering from their injury.

To give you an example of how the card appears, we are showing some of the information that our fake client Happy Jan DOB 14/02/1954 has recorded on our site:
