Carers Emergency Card

The Carers Emergency Card is a free service for carers who live with the person they care for or visit them regularly at their home.

Carry this card in your purse or wallet as it identifies you as a carer, shows your name, a unique identification number and an emergency telephone number. If you have an accident/emergency or taken seriously ill, the card can be used to alert a 24 hours Emergency Call Centre that the person you care for needs help.
