The scheme involves people filling in a card with their essential medical details, such as ilnesses, allergies, medication and identification, and putting it in their purse or wallet so the emergency services can find it if they have an accident.

This follows the national Lions Club scheme called ‘message in a bottle’, where people kept a similar card in the refrigerator for accidents at home – with five million ‘message in a bottle’ containers being handed out to the public.
