In my home town we have recently been given by The Lions who are a local charitable group that do all sorts of good deeds for the community a "message in a bottle" which is a plastic container that you keep in the door of your fridge it contains all your medication details, doctors name, allergic reaction details, etc. it also asks for details of contact names and if anybody relies on you for daily care, or collection of children from school. It also very importantly asks if you have a donor card. When the form is filled in with all your details you put a sticker that is provided on the inside of your front door at eye level so easily seen by any emergency crew that might have to attend, this has rendered safer and speedier first aid by cutting short time wasted fact finding about the patient. I think that this is a completely brilliant idea.

The medical responders know to call them to find out. And I see they've just come out with a Citizen brand watch, with the logo on the face, and the info on the back of the watch - so you really don't have to wear anything more than you normally would (assuming you wear a wristwatch).
