I recently had a visit from a representative of EMR medicard. This is a
Smartcard aimed at replacing MEDICALERT bracelets and other similar items.
Obviously the card is of little use without a reader and so we were asked if
we would house one in the A&E department free of charge.
Has anybody first hand experience of this system and is it worthwhile ?
N.B. we abandoned the use of intra-musclar diclofenac some time ago because
of the pain of injection and the risks of fat necrosis at the injection
site. PR diclofenac is just as effective.
