Medical Bracelet - good idea or not?

I have seen programmes on the TV where paramedcis know to look in the fridge so that is a good thing

I used to wear an ICE bracelet all the time, but having been admitted to A&E a couple times with serious problems, potentially life threatening, and noting that no notice was taken of the bracelet, I've stopped wearing one. My medications have been changed a number of times too making information on the bracelet redundant. Perhaps if I had been unconscious and alone the bracelet may have been consulted. I always carry ICE information when out anyway, and have an ICE number in my phone.

I always carry ICE information when out anyway, and have an ICE number in my phone.

I have now updated all my medical history, medication data, NHS number and ICE contact details on my phone now. I think that's as good as anything as its all available to view even if the screen is locked.
