Why Our Asthma Medical ID Card is a Lifesaver You Shouldn't Ignore

Asthma is more than just an occasional wheeze or cough; it's a chronic condition that affects around 5.4 million people in the UK alone. With the rise in pollution, allergens, and other triggers, it's critical to take asthma management seriously. It is a respiratory condition that narrows and inflames your airways, making breathing difficult. It manifests through symptoms like coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and tightness in the chest. 

Managing asthma involves knowing your triggers, using prescribed medications such as inhalers, and having an emergency action plan. But what if you're not in a position to communicate this vital information during an emergency?  That's where The Card Project UK's Asthma Medical ID Card comes into play.

The Front of the Card: More Than Just Your Name

The front of our Asthma Medical ID Card does more than just display your name. The card also clearly states the location of your blue inhaler. This is crucial because timely access to your inhaler can make a world of difference during an asthma attack.

Imagine you're at a crowded event, and you suddenly start experiencing symptoms. The people around you might not know what's going on or how to help. But showing them your Asthma Medical ID Card instantly provides them with the information they need to assist you effectively. The front of the card is like a mini-asthma awareness campaign that you carry around in your wallet.

The Rear of the Card: Your Personal Emergency Network

We often rely on our mobile phones to store emergency contacts, but what if your phone is out of reach or out of battery during an asthma episode? The rear of our Asthma Medical ID Card holds two emergency contact names and their phone numbers. This ensures that even if you're unable to speak or reach your phone, someone else can easily get in touch with people who know your medical history and can provide accurate information to medical professionals.

Why Our Asthma Medical ID Card is Different
