U TAG ICE, Has anyone else got one?

yep, I got some free with my tyres about 2 months ago,

I have updated it, stuck it in my jacket pocket and stuck a sticker on my helmet,

however... when was the last time you saw a paramedic with a laptop, now If an AA person came to my rescue.....

One of my friends has some of these- and I think it's a great idea- but as for the actual extracting of the information- the ambulance is surely unlikely to use it?? Maybe there is someone on here from the ambulance service who would be able to put us right? However, the hospital would be able to use......

I wear dog tags myself, that I had created- with allergies and NoK on.

According to the miss' "who I must obey" it is not guaranteed to be used in the hospital, the medical profession hasn't approved of it as the standard ICE or identity tags are far easier to identify and read without leaving the patient.

I read somewhere that every scottish ambulance and paramedic can read them.

The website selling them?

Nah, someone with connections to the ambulance service. So meh

Sorry to slightly derail, but if I were to get some dog tags made with info about me on them and ICE, apart from name, date of Birth, no allergies, blood group and an emergency number is there anything else I could put on there important like a National Insurance number?

Religion if any?

I was thinking NI number might make it easy to look everything up at once?

Stuff like blood group they'll test for anyway before giving a transfusion. I reckon name and ICE phone number is more important.
