Brainwave, the Irish Epilepsy Association, in conjunction with Contactors Medical Bureau, can provide you with an identity bracelet to identify you as having epilepsy.
A seizure can happen at any time, in any place, resulting in unconsciousness and inability to talk and ask for help. By wearing an Epi-Alert identity bracelet, this immediately identifies an individual as having epilepsy to hospitals, doctors, police and others who may find you in this state.
The Epi-Alert bracelet will have the insignia Epi-Alert on one side, and ‘Epilepsy’, a serial number and Contractor's telephone number on the reverse.
Contactors Medical Bureau in Dublin maintains a Central File recording any information regarded by the applicant's doctor as essential. In an emergency, this information can be obtained by a doctor or other authorised person by a telephone call to Contactors Medical Bureau.
The telephone is manned both day and night.
The information recorded on the bracelet and contained on a file by Contactors is provided by the applicant in conjunction with his/her doctor.
Subject to confirmation of the appropriate details by a doctor, any person suffering from epilepsy may apply for an EPI-ALERT bracelet by completing the application form. Click below for the form:
