Cram Alert -

Why use my ID Wristbands?

Anyone can become ill, have an accident or simply need assistance at any time. In particular runners, cyclists and adventurers are particularly vulnerable to accidents when training on UK roadways.

My brother Kevin was out jogging in January 2002 and died after being found collapsed at the roadside. He was wearing his jogging shorts, a t-shirt and running shoes. It took some 48 hours to identify Kevin as he was not carrying anything that could identify him.

The Cram-Alert Service was not in existence in January 2002 but if it had been, I would have been informed of the accident just minutes after Kevin was found!

A Cram-Alert wristband does not prevent an accident from happening but it will ensure that in the event of sudden illness or accident to anyone out training or even in the event of a child or elderly person found lost, my 24/7 Emergency Response Team will pass any registered medical conditions requirements to the emergency services and immediately contact the family and next-of-kin with contact details for those dealing with the incident.

What happens in the event of an emergency situation?

A Cram-Alert member can be sure that if they are found needing assistance whilst wearing a Cram-Alert wristband the following actions will be taken:

• On discovering the Cram-Alert wristband the finder sees the words 24/7 EMERGENCY NEXT-OF-KIN AND MEDICAL DETAILS
• They can then telephone the 24/7 UK or international telephone number displayed on the wristband which is answered by a member of my Emergency Response Team
• The finder is asked to quote the member emergency ID number displayed below the telephone number
• The attendance of an ambulance is determined and actioned (if not already by the finder)
• Registered medical conditions and crisis plans are relayed to the finder and or emergency services.
• Contact details for the person dealing with the incident are recorded together with brief details – for example – member is a cyclist who has been struck by a car, is unconscious and being taken by ambulance to St Thomas’s Hospital, Westminster Road, London SW1 due to arrive 13:20
• All contact details and incident data is relayed to the family and or next-of-kin as instructed by the members Cram-Alert register entry.
• The Cram-Alert team liaise with all parties until victim and family are reunited.
