I bought an SOS Talisman pendant because after my doctor recommend that I wear one I searched shops and the internet and found this to be the easiest to get and it takes more information than any others so I feel secure in the knowledge that anyone who needs to help me has instant access to all my medical needs in any circumstance. Len Peal, York5 Stars

I have recently been diagnosed as suffering from basalar arterial  migraine, heart problems, and have had epilepsy since 4 years of age (after fractured skull.) I had a Medic Alert bracelet in South Africa, but lost it rock climbing shortly before returning to the UK. I feel safe & secure in the knowledge that my Medical history is on me at all times, no matter what happens to me. The bracelet never leaves my wrist, ever. !Being a very active person despite pretty severe medical problems, and living an active outdoor life, my s/s bracelet is the most reassuring item in my life. I know that it will withstand rough treatment, but still carry lifesaving information safely inside for me. That has given me such confidence and I unreservedly urge all with medical or life threatening problems to get a bracelet or necklace. Thank you so much. Alex Walker, Kettering

I have Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and use nasal continuous positive airway pressure therapy when asleep. In the event of being unconscious, my upper airway may be severely compromised to the point of asphyxia. eg. following an accident or anaesthesia. The quality of the SOS Talisman is excellent. As well as being a potential life saver it is also a quality piece of jewellery. Roy D Bailey, Henstridge, Somerset 5 Stars

 

My wife purchased this for me because when I was diagnosed with an Atrial Arrhythmia and had to take anti coagulant tablets she was concerned that if I was in an accident I could bleed to death . Now the information within my SOS Talisman would be readily available to any rescuers. The bracelet is very attractive to wear, my friends tell me that it is very 'Macho' so I feel confident wearing it. Norman Goodwin, La Drova Barx, Valencia, Spain

 

I suffer from a condition where I faint at the sight of blood or when I see accidents, I have always suffered this and didn't think it was a big problem until recently. I was out in a nightclub with 2 friends and a woman was bleeding on the dance floor, I made it to the toilets but fainted, the 2 security men who were there bundled me out and left me on a wall outside as they believed I was drunk or on drugs, luckily I was with people but as I was in unfamiliar surroundings I was very scared and confused.  I bought my talisman as a means of security to me as I may pass out in the street when I am alone. Charlene Chapman, Norfolk

My step-father lives on his own in a flat. I go away quite a lot. I need to know that if for any reason he is unconscious or stressed and forgetful while I am away or indeed while I am in this country that someone will know who he is, will be able to contact me and will know how to treat him being furnished with the information on his medication. F Boult, Malvern

"I have worn my SOS Talisman bracelet ever since I was diagnosed as a diabetic some 10 years ago, and my late wife wore one for the final 13 years of her life.
I use it because, unlike some other forms of SOS alerting jewellery, the Talisman system lists all the details relating to my conditions without needing to telephone a central data bank for information and advice. Nor is there an annual fee for the service. Living in the Shetland Isles, as I do, I am only too aware that mobile telephone communication can be problematic with significant areas of the islands without cover. But no matter where I am, and whether I am conscious and lucid or not, a helper will always be able to read my Info Strip to learn my personal, next of kin, religion, medical, medication and blood group, (mine is rare), details at a glance.
As a ‘First Aid at Work’ trainer for the local FE College, I am often asked by students which is the best system to use. Whilst not recommending one manufacturer over another, I do point out that the Talisman is the one that I use personally, making them aware of the telecoms problem at the same time. Thank you for your service." Barrington Stevens, Shetland

I bought the talisman because I have a rare blood disorder and require a large dose of blood thinning drugs. I feel safe in the knowledge that my next of kin can be contacted straight away and that doctors know what drugs I am taking, which could be life saving in the event of an accident. I work for St. Johns ambulance and would advise anyone with a medical condition to purchase an SOS Talisman. The Talisman is very good quality and has lasted very well. I have worn it constantly for over a year now and there is barely a scratch on it. I initially bought the silver bracelet talisman and following my recent wedding bought replacement inserts for change of next of kin and surname.
R Vaughan-Lyons, Whitstable5 Stars

Bought for my wife to replace her old silver SOS bracelet that had worn through on the fastenings between chain and pendant as it has been worn non-stop for appx 10 years. When opened the info sheet looked as good as new!
I know that my wife, as well as liking the bracelet as a piece of jewellery, gets great comfort knowing that all details of her various medical requirements are easily accessible to anyone who needs to understand her medication status if she is incapacitated. D White 5 Stars

I am delighted with it. I'm amazed how all that vital health and contact information can be stored inside the silver capsule. I looked at other Medical pendants & bracelets, but they either only allowed for a small engraving which didn't provide enough information, or required the emergency medical staff to ring a number to find out the essential details, which wouldn't be practical in an area with no access to a phone...
I bought a silver pendant. It has the caduceus on one side (internationally recognised by medics) and SOS on the other, so I'd feel confident about going abroad wearing this one. I have allergies to food, drugs and preservatives. After a more severe reaction while on holiday recently, I decided that it would be wise to carry my vital health information in some form all the time. It has also given my family peace of mind! It has taken me a while to get used to wearing the talisman all the time, and initially I felt a bit self-conscious, but it's one of the best decisions I've ever made and the silver is very pretty, too so it's just like a piece of jewellery to me now. Only it never comes off! Lyndsey Cromar, Glasgow5 Stars

Excellent quality. I bought ST11 - Stainless steel ladies bracelet with St. Christopher on the back. I bought the SOS talisman at my GP's suggestion.  I have two very rare brain tumours which are crushing my optic nerves, so I am registered blind.  Recently I got a rare heart condition too, which means every time I stand up I get tachycardic, so I'm now confined to a wheelchair. The talisman really puts my mind at rest because normally I have to explain what the conditions are as well as just giving their names, now it's all written down so if anything happens I know the Dr's have all the information. Mary Dawson, Welwyn Garden City 5 Stars

Excellent quality - I've been swimming with my Talisman and it has stayed waterproof.
I have bought a stainless steel pendant (previously), stainless steel bracelet (years ago), and recently a gold plated pendant.
I have Multiple Sclerosis, and have problems with falling, swallowing, and memory. As a medical lecturer, I know how vital it is that medical services at home and overseas have information if I were to be found unconscious. It has also been really helpful when I'm registering with a new clinic, and I can just show them my (long) list of medications, rather than having to remember them! In fact, the last time I fetched up in a Walk-in clinic with an injury, the nurse said she wished everyone had one of these! In addition, I have promised my remains to the MS Tissue Bank - their contact details are on my SOS certificate, so that I can contribute to important research even after my death.
A. Thacker, London5 Stars

I cannot get out & about very well & phoning different chemists to find a product like the bracelet was OK but everyone I spoke to wanted me to travel to them which is not easy. So finding this website was a godsend to me. It was quick & easy to use and the bracelet arrived within 4 days. Its a wonderful service & long may it continue. I try to do all my shopping via the Internet. Isn't technology wonderful!
I also like the way with SOS Talisman you have instant access to the information if you're in trouble. Other methods involve getting in touch with a third party by phone or computer. Mrs J Adams, Dorchester

I am prone to hyperventilating and collapsing and I know how much this can worry the people around me. The main reason I bought it was to reassure people and to ensure that nobody would panic unduly over my condition. I feel a lot more secure when wearing it, knowing that if I was to collapse then I would still be able to let people know what was going on, since I am afraid that if people don't understand what is happening they may treat me in a harmful way eg. attempt unnecessary resuscitation. C Looser, Bradford 5 Stars

SOS Talisman is the best.  I am 24 years old and was worried that it would look old fashioned, but I was surprised at the modern range available, everyone comments how great it looks. I bought the Silver bracelet with the snake & staff on the reverse.
I was diagnosed with Latex Allergy in March 05. 2 weeks ago I went to England on the ferry and on my return trip i took unwell, I was on my own and had collapsed before being able to use my Epipen. Thanks to the SOS Talisman the staff on the boat were able to see immediately what my medical condition was and they were able to administer my epipen.  his gave me time to get to the port were an ambulance was waiting. The ambulance was able to read all the details on my SOS and radio ahead to the hospital to have them on standby in a Latex Free area.  I spent 2 weeks in the intensive care unit on Life Support.  If i did not have my SOS Talisman i would almost certainly not be here today. Thankyou Gillian Gibson Newtownards 5 Stars

The product is sturdy and it has a fashion side to it. It is easy to open but it is also secure and won't fall off. the stainless steel it is made from is strong and durable.
My doctor recommended I get one. this was because I had to get certain medical attention if in an accident. I looked at one or two products and settled for the talisman, mainly because there are no monthly bills, I carry my information for immediate help and it looks good. Clive Bowles, Portadown5 Stars

I bought this for my husband who has a metal aortic valve and needs to take a high dose of Warfarin daily.  He must not take aspirin as this has the same effect as Warfarin in thinning the blood.  2005 was not a good year from him and he was in hospital for five weeks, four of which he was on oral and intravenous antibiotics every four hours, day and night.  Needless to say, his confidence has been affected quite dramatically.  This was a  surprise gift and to say he is thrilled is putting it mildly.  He was delighted and you could almost see him visibly relaxing.  So thank you. M Daly, Henley-On-Thames5 Stars

My SOS bracelet is just what I hoped it would be, it's not too big so that it looks out of place on my wrist and it's comfortable to wear. It's also very well made - very good quality! I am extremely pleased and it's given me confidence and made me feel safe when I'm out and about on my own! H Mills. Haslemere

Compared to another website (medicalert) I looked at for a Talisman, yours was a lot better. Yours was very understandable, very user friendly and gave you all the information I needed to know. You also had a lot more choice of jewellery/watch type talismans.
It is very strong and will, I am sure, come in very handy if I am on my own and I have an epileptic fit. Of course I haven't worn it for long periods of time yet, but its looks hard wearing and I think I will certainly get my money's worth out of it. I would definitely recommend you to others who need this kind of assurance.
A Dowdeswell, Nottingham

This product is well made and robust, a must when wearing it 24/7. I found it reassuring to be informed before my purchase that a stainless steel one was a better buy, due to my condition. Thank you. After searching many pharmacies for a medical bracelet without any luck, I turned to the internet and within a short time found your site, I also found it informative and helpful. V E Webster, Welwyn Garden City

The quality of the product is outstanding and is VERY robust as it does not come off whether in the bath or swimming, never leaks and the seal is still great after some 10 + (I've forgotten how long I have had it!) years from new.
I have four curvatures in my spine (scolocious), I am also allergic to both Aspirin and Paracetamol and I take regular medication.  I have found myself in hospital several times and all the medical staff know that they can't remove my Talisman.  With the allergy to Aspirin it could kill me and if it wasn't for my Talisman I may not be here as on one occasion I was prescribed an aspirin based product whilst unconscious.  If it had not been for a nurse that spotted my Talisman I could have died. That was just one of several occasions that the Talisman has saved my life.  I do not need to remember all my medication, or worry that no one will know if I have had an accident and I NEVER go anywhere without my Talisman. Thankyou Jen Williams, Felixtowe.

The product (SOS Pendant and Chain) is first class. That, however, is not the point. This is my second SOS Pendant and Chain, the first one helped to save my life by providing information to the emergency services when I suffered a heart attack. Unfortunately, the first pendant and chain was lost at the hospital when I was having emergency treatment - the pendant may have been lost, but my life was saved because they had all my medical details to hand.
I have, of course, replaced the pendant. R. Hamilton, London

Very good quality and well made. I have long thought that I and my wife needed a form of medical ID. SOS Talisman is well known and gives a feeling of security and well being. P.G. Robinson. Leicester

I have to take steroids every day and I use morphine and other dangerous drugs.  Wearing this pendant makes me feel a lot more secure about my medical problems in case I am ever involved in  an accident....I would know that any medical team would know how to treat me. L Bevan, Bristol

I thought that the ordering process was most efficient and your company kept me informed right up to the day before delivery.  I was very impressed. My product was exactly as advertised on the web-site. I was very happy with my purchase. C Ennis, Dublin

Excellent! I bought the Pendant as a gift for my Godmother who had to have her spleen removed due to a medical blunder. She is on medication and must not have certain drugs or they would kill her. It gives me peace of mind as she does love to travel the world even though she is nearly 80! A Bond, Beccles

I brought the bracelet because I am on medication which suppresses my immune system and if I was to have an accident and needed to be operated on the chance were unless I had anti-biotics I would not heal very well, if at all. I also have Type 2 diabetes, and although not insulin controlled, I felt that any doctor or paramedic would need to know this when treating me, if I was unable to tell them. Although my husband and parents know my medical history, it doesn't mean that they will be with me if something was to happen and I needed medical help. Also in a worrying situation it is easy to forget vital information. Wearing the bracelet makes me feel safer and happier, knowing that a doctor or paramedic would be able to treat me correctly with the information that is given on the strip. I also know that they would be able to get hold of my next of kin or GP if needed.
I find the bracelet easy to wear, it is lightweight and does not get in my way. It is attractive, so can be easily worn with any outfit. The only time I take it off is to bath or shower. Although there is a watertight seal and it is stainless steel, I feel happier taking it off "just in case".
I would recommend anyone who has a medical condition which would affect how a medical professional would treat you in an emergency situation, to wear a SOS Talisman. It could potentially be a lifesaver! R Smeal, Southampton

I bought an SOS Talisman bracelet in solid silver, it looks good on and is well made. I was advised by a hospital surgeon to buy something to alert other people if needed that I have a medical condition to be aware of. I looked on the Internet and found your site, I chose the silver bracelet, and within two days it had arrived. It looks good to wear, I feel safe wearing it, knowing that anyone who needs to know can access the medical information. S Tedder, Woking

I bought the SOS bracelet for my mother has been diagnosed with Alzheimers. Although she is still in the early stages, there could come a time when she might forget where she lives and will need help. By putting my contacts details in the bracelet, I'm hoping that whoever finds her, will spot the SOS Talisman and be able to contact me or one of the other contents listed. She is also on a number of medications, so the bracelet can also help to inform medical staff of her condition if necessary. L Campbell, Southampton

This is the best quality for people that have medical problems. I bought my SOS Talisman because my doctor informed me I needed a medical bracelet. My aunt had the SOS one so she told me it was the best because you could carry all your medical information in it.
I have lupus, insufficient adrenal, seizures and depression. It is very important for my adrenal problem that I have an alert bracelet because my doctor said it would be a life or death situation if I wasn't wearing one and was to go unconscious. I love the way it looks, it has style. I love it!!! Tijuana C Houston, Fayetteville, USA


Ladies bracelet nice & sturdy. Was worried the chain would be flimsy but not at all. I have rheumatoid arthritis which although isn't life threatening, I'm on strong autoimmune drugs which affect my blood test results including for liver and kidneys. Plus I'm allergic to tramadol which is the most common painkiller used by paramedics and having been involved in a major car crash 12 years ago when I suffered multiple injuries, I'm fully aware of the importance of having all your medical and contact information to hand. If only I had one then! P Lack, Banbury4 Stars

Excellent - I didn't expect it to look so good! I thought it might look clumsy but it really suits male or female.
I have had a tumour removed from my pituitary gland along with my adrenal glands so the drugs I take are life saving - obviously not having any adrenal glands I have no adrenalin naturally so I need my drugs every day - I feel 'safer' now that I am wearing it - I thought I would be conscious of it but I really feel proud that I am protecting myself and alerting others - my family are very pleased I have got it too - it really could save my life.
M Hayes, Feltham

We are very pleased with this product. I bought the SOS Talisman as a Christmas present for my wife. She has had them all her life and she did not feel very comfortable not having one. My wife has a sever alergy to penaciline and various back problems. Now she has the new Talisman she feel confident to go places again. One word sums it up - Brilliant G Lehan, Leeds

I bought the stainless steel SOS talisman necklace plus an additional pack of forms, key ring etc.
I have diabetes together with spinal stenosis and have already had a replacement hip, and as I am not that old (56) if I had an accident or some other misfortune (i.e. a hypo) I was afraid that I would not get the treatment that I needed and I feared my spine and hip would suffer from wrong handling. I have a friend who is a Paramedic and he suggested that, as I take a lot of medication and different sorts, it was advisable to have some form of a talisman so that paramedics and doctors etc could see at a glance what treatment was necessary. I find that the stick on labels are really useful, (he advised I put one near my front door, which is where the paramedics look for them) and also on the fridge door, all to help get the best treatment without any delay.
I feel so secure now and relieved that I have this protection. H Hirons, Brompton on Swale, Richmond

My 13 year old son has just had a Stent Implant in his aorta. He has a card that he has to permanently keep with him, but like most kids of his age its usually left at home. After browsing on the internet I came across your site and felt this would be the perfect solution for him. From finding your site, to ordering and receiving the Talisman was less than 1 week.  I now have perfect peace of mind knowing he will get the correct medical help should he need it and he is pleased with his COOL peace of jewellery.  Thanks very much for making it simple to shop with you. J Kewell Fareham, Hampshire.

I bought this for my dad who recently suffered a heart attack.  When he went to hospital (after being at the football) no-one knew who he was or even his name.  He has been on medication for a long time and no one knew what they were.  Not even my mum.  I decided to buy one of these so that this would not happen again.  It is the second one that I have bought as my daughter had a transplant and needed to clarify what drugs she was on etc. M Fleming, Bo'ness 5 Stars

This was perhaps one of the most pleasant experiences I have had in Internet purchasing. In addition to receiving a premier product at an excellent price, I was treated to service exemplifying the finest tradition of client commitment. You may expect to see me as a repeat buyer. J. Krupp, Wallingford, Connecticut

Excellent and easy. I am a pensioner, and not really used to computers, but found it very user friendly.  
L. J. Cowell Sheffield

SOS Talisman is 100% Thanks, This will ease ambulance crews skills as I have no other way of contacting them when I have an anaphyltic shock. L Taylor Sandhurst Berks

Brian, I am so glad I ordered the Zodiac SOS Talismans! They are worth the extra delivery time.  The machined steel has a nice urban, industrial look.  The small size is a relief.  You should say on your site that they are the size of a Canadian or American nickel (5 cent piece), understated and elegant.
One of the Libra talismans is for me while the other assorted five are heading out to California, Vancouver British Columbia and Winnipeg Manitoba to my family and friends. This is a great product. Cheers C Roquet Cambridge MA USA

I use SOS Talisman as I have a severe latex allergy (anaphylaxis reaction).  I've had a bracelet and necklace for years but found it really difficult to get replacement strips when I moved home. I'd tried a few months before but could only find supplies in America, so was thrilled when I found your website last month.
The Medical Emergency Information Sheet is a fantastic idea, and I now have copies with all our first aiders at work, in my car, my handbag, my suitcases and at home. The emails are always informative. Thanks for your help.
Sue Maggs, Southampton5 Stars

I was reassured that there was secure ordering: my PC warned me of entering a secure area & the padlock sign appeared. Some other sites, assure secure ordering, though the warning & padlock do not appear. In that case, I never order from them. R H Prime, Aberdeen

My mum bought it for me as I suffer from asthma and have bad asthma attacks that sometimes require medical treatment. It is very difficult to speak when having them, so now people who come across me can know for sure what is wrong with me and the paramedics will have access to some medical details that they need to know. It makes me feel confident wearing it knowing that I can concentrate on regulating me breathing rather than giving out information and causing more stress for myself. It also gives my family peace of mind that when I go out and I have an asthma attack I will get the help I need and they will be contacted quickly. B Culbert, Swindon 4 Stars

I was diagnosed as type 1 diabetic and needed to let people know. It was a bit strange at first but now I am used to wearing it and feel comfortable with it and glad that I have something to let people know what to do or who to contact if something happens to me.N Green, Newbury5 Stars

It only took about 4 days to arrive which is actually amazing since I ordered it off the internet while in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico working on an oil rig and having the order processed and shipped from the U.K. to the U.S. and arrive 4 days after I ordered it was shocking. Oh and by the way I thank you for the extra little gift you threw in. 
I purchase quite a bit over the internet and I have yet to find a better retailer set up than yours and would highly recommend others to shop with you. B Schuttloffel, Houston Texas U.S.A.

Thank you for a wonderful service and a really lovely product which has given the family piece of mind. When you are a diabetic it can be a worry if anything should happen and you are unable to communicate. The SOS Talisman helps. The product is very good. The standard of the piece is excellent. I would rate the quality as 10/10. K. Hawkins, Huddersfield

I suffer from Diabetes and now feel safe when wearing it. It is also a nice piece of jewellery. The quality was excellent and I was very pleased with it and it looks great. I bought gold plated pendant and also a stainless steel one. Sandra Louth, Whitland5 Stars

I have been most impressed with the SOS Talisman.  Before this product I have worn one from the age of six years without having to change it.  Only now, over two decades later has it needed replacing. M Jevons, Caldicot5 Stars

My order arrived in less than 1 day! ordered at about 11:00 on Thursday, arrived @08:00 Friday. Shopping on your website was exactly what it should be - simple to find the product, easy to order and quick to arrive - The 'larger concerns' (Jungle, Amazon et al) could learn a lot from you.  N. Fuller, Leatherhead, Surrey

The bracelet i purchased, was of very good quality, at a very reasonable price.
I have a mechanical aortic heart valve replacement. I feel more at ease now i wear it all the time. Julie Ager, Cambridge5 Stars

If I need this type of jewellery again I would not hesitate to shop with you again. My order arrived in 3 days and was well packed. Very efficient.  P Brook, Birmingham

I would rate the service I received "A+"   M Kenney, Chicago

It was very easy to place my order, even to the extent that a personalised (rather than automated) response was sent. I was very pleased with all aspects of the shopping expedition and the product received is exactly as described. First class service. C. Tierney, Sheffield.

Fast delivery, i ordered it on the Friday and it was waiting for me when i got to work Monday morning!!

Hi Susan,

Extremely easy and very pleasant. Fast, no-hassle service. Excellent...five star! M. Travisano Summit, New Jersey USA

The quality and finish of my bracelet is excellent. Because of my medical conditions, I wanted people to know what my problems are if I am taken ill and what medications I take. I brought my bracelet for peace of mind, it makes me feel confident that if I become ill when I am out, the medical professionals can treat me appropriately.
L Pemberton, Derby5 Stars

From beginning to end the process of buying was very professional and delivered exceptionally quickly; would certainly have no doubts about using the site again or recommending to others. Thank You very much..... S Herd,  Dublin

My husband has a number of  illnesses one of which results in him regularly becoming confused.  He now feels far more secure and confident to go out as he is wearing the information medical teams need should he find himself in an emergency situation. E Harrison, Liverpool 5 Stars

I bought this for my wife who has just recently been diagnosed Diabetic. Something that medics and others need to know if she cannot communicate. I have been wearing one for the past 10 years or more, given to me as a gift from my wife. It gives me confidence that medics and others will be aware of my needs. I have never had need of my SOS necklace but never go without it. Robert Spence, Coleraine5 Stars

Your range is excellent, sometimes pictures of the product you are buying can be deceiving on screen but I must say that what you see is what you get. Any queries I had were answered very quickly by Susan; web site was first class and easy to follow. N McCaig, Ballymena, N Ireland

Just what online shopping should be - quick, reliable and easy! P Watson, Amityville, New York

Found the website so easy to use; ordering was easy. The quality of the talisman was far better than i had expected, I would give top marks to this product, it was more attractive than i had imagined and not as tinny as i thought it would be. Y Healan, Cardiff

I have recently had weightloss surgery and wanted to be able to warn the medical profession should the need occur. I feel safe wearing it. A Smith, Bradford 4 Stars

I will shop with you again as and when I need products of this kind. 10/10 for service.  P.Hardy, Larksfield

The SOS Talisman bracelet was much better than imagined. It will be of great benefit to my mother who suffers from dementia and occasionally forgets where she lives. I wish other e sellers were as efficient as you. If all web buying was as easy and as quick as yours the real shops would have a lot to worry about. Thanks again. 
M Cato, Newcastle

Thank you, I will never go shopping with my toddler again. I only wish I had shopped with you sooner! My order arrived in 1 day! 10/10 for service. W Irvine Edinburgh, Scotland.

My health has deteriorated and due to the insulin injections I need to inform someone if I go Hypo. The quality of the product was exactly what I expected. It  was stylish, functional and self explanatory for ANYONE to understand what it was. A Hindle. Accrington 5 Stars

Yours is a well designed site with easy-to-follow instructions. Very nice graphics, quality products and excellent delivery time. I will definitely visit your site and more than likely purchase again. M McPherson, Carlisle.

This is our second Talisman we have bought and we would not go elsewhere to buy a similar product. The quality and service is excellent. Our first purchase was a pendant and recently we have bought a bracelet.
The Talisman is for our severely disabled daughter and she wears it with pride as a lovely piece of jewellery. J. A. Groves, Bury, Lancs 5 Stars

Absolutely superb - easy to order and most importantly, delivered when promised! The product arrived approx 2 days from telephone order (including a hiccup with my card details). Keep the service ethic just as you have - it's something that clients always remember and mention to friends. I Stewart, Liverpool

Service was fine and I liked the e-mails I received advising me of the receipt and shipping date of my order. J. Ewell Virginia Beach USA

I bought this for my husband who has worn one for years due to his asthma. in 17 years of marriage i have only needed to purchase 3. My husband does not always have his mobile with him and if something happened his SOS Talsiman would be the first thing the emergency services saw and contact me. I shall continue buying them until needed. M Gray, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire 5 Stars

The products I ordered arrived in 72 hours from the UK to our Kibbutz in Israel. Excellent products: excellent service. A Straus. Israel. 

Brilliant service ! It was very simple it was my first time buying on the net and I had no problems at all thank you. K Collins. Blackburn

10/10 for service. I have already recommended your site to others. Mr D Watckinson, HItchin.

It was convenient and quick. First time ever ordered internationally and was pleasantly surprised. You folks did a nice job and we'll definitely use you again. K Skinner, Torrance, CA, USA

I purchased an SOS talisman earlier last year, it saved my life, I am a St John ambulance member and didn't wear it at first but am glad I started wearing it as I was found unconscious due to being anaphylaxis against strawberries and latex. I also knew the paramedic which helped. Thank you for your interest, and those sheets are a lot of use.
Thanks again Caroline Carter

It was a one-off purchase of something that may possibly save my life!  J Webb, Loughton

I have had a Talisman for many years now, and as a wild life photographer I tend to get into a few scrapes now and then. I am on permanent medication for a previous accident. The Talisman has certainly worked for over the past few years. I never, and I mean never, go anywhere without wearing it.
My wife who is also my researcher/assistant has recently decided, due to a new eye problem, that she should also have one, and she will. Who ever thought of it, THANK YOU. J Fairclough, Merseyside

The talisman bracelet makes a nice piece of jewellery. It was delivered very quickly and the online instructions on how to fill in the medical information are excellent. I had Breast cancer last year and had to have a Mastectomy and all of my Lymph Node Glands removed from my left arm. I feel much safer by wearing my talisman, it gives me back a little bit of confidence as I no longer feel quite so vulnerable. V Newell, Surrey

I have recently been diagnosed as suffering from basalar arterial  migraine, heart problems, and have had epilepsy since 4 years of age (after fractured skull.) I had a Medic Alert bracelet in South Africa, but lost it rock climbing shortly before returning to the UK. I feel safe & secure in the knowledge that my Medical history is on me at all times, no matter what happens to me. The bracelet never leaves my wrist, ever! Being a very active person despite pretty severe medical problems, and living an active outdoor life, my s/s bracelet is the most reassuring item in my life. I know that it will withstand rough treatment, but still carry lifesaving information safely inside for me. That has given me such confidence and I unreservedly urge all with medical or life threatening problems to get a bracelet or necklace. Thank you so much. Alex Walker, Kettering

Brilliant product.. I have been looking for one of these medallions for a long time. Excellent quality. It is a brilliant product, delivery was super fast.  You don't know it is there when you are wearing it so you can forget about it and just get on with things... C. Fraser, London 5 Stars

The quality and finish of the stainless steel pendant were every bit as good as I expected.  I bought the Talisman because I have a penicillin allergy and am also taking heart medication. Wearing it gives me peace of mind as I know that if I were involved in accident I would receive appropriate treatment. Robert Glozier, Colne5 Stars

I am Diabetic I feel safe when wearing it. Wish I had bought one a long time ago. I think it is a very important thing to have if you  have a serious illness. E Pickering Washington,  Tyne and Wear 5 Stars

Very good quality. I have a cat1 allergic reaction to asprin and saliciylate, very cumffy to wear. Mr S Cressey, Norwich5 Stars

I bought 2 pendants for my parents, as they have medical conditions and are on a cocktail of medicines.  My mother is happy to wear it, while my father wears it under his clothes. M Hawkins, London5 Stars

I bought it for my son who has ulcerative colitis and takes steroid treatment. L. Ball, Rotherham5 Stars

Bought it for my mother who had anaphylactic shock reaction in October, no problem wearing it, feels much more confident with it on nowT Marshall. Hove 4 Stars

The quality of the bracelet I bought is excellent. It looks very good like a piece of good quality jewelery. I bought the bracelet because I am diabetic and use insulin and also take tablets for other conditions. It makes me feel confident to go out, if anything should happen to me. M. Cogley, Maidstone 5 Stars

I purchased the product for my husband who is an insulin dependant diabetic who is also on medication for high blood pressure and has recently had a serious allergic reaction to a local anaesthetic. D.M.Fensome, London 5 Stars

Fantastic value for money- will be a lifesaver - and it was delivered so quickly. Thank you. I feel much happier knowing my dad will be wearing this when he is out.  I bought it for him as a Christmas present. J Lambert, Castleford 5 Stars

I found the experience easy and stress free.  I was also kept informed at every step from ordering a product to being able to track the parcel right up to my door. I found the range of products wide and varied and the details for each product informative. I will be shopping here again in the near future. J Dower, Kent.

I bought something (a necklace pendant) for my mother, who is very happy with it. She now has a much enhanced feeling of security that her medical needs will be quickly identified if anything should happen to her and she can not communicate properly. I've been wearing my own necklace for many years and am happy that my mother has also recognised the usefulness of carrying her medical details with her at all times (as well as having something that looks stylish) N. Eaton, Eastleigh 4 Stars

I purchased a silver bracelet for my son. He has many medical complications and has a severe reaction to latex. I was advised by a nurse at Gt. Ormand St. that it may be beneficial for my son to wear something that would alert people to his condition.  When he is rushed into hospital, I am always asked what his current medication is. Now I do not have to rack my brain to think of names & doses.
It also enables us to alert any medical staff our agreed views about resuscitation. Added to all the above, it looks quite trendy so he did not object to wearing it!! Thank you also for all the handy tips that you send. June Wratten, Hockley 5 Stars

 bought one to replace one I lost after 10years of use. Was an ambulanceman & would always look for on a patient for information on unconscious patient to give some idea, what may be causing the condition. So when I found I had a Epilepsy, my wife purchased a Talisman bracelet, so it could stop her worrying when I was out on my own. Now my wife has passed away I think it is more vital than ever. My friends here also feel less worried knowing that I carry the information on me. R. P. Williams, Kato Paphos, Cyprus

I have had gastric surgery (lap banding) and felt it important anyone would know how to deal with the band in an emergency. The quality is great neatly made and fits well together.
I actually like that it is easily identifiable because it might be missed if it looked like ordinary jewellery. Some others I've seen are almost disguised by beads etc and as a medical worker myself I would not look at them but the SOS talisman is clearly an alert signal and I would check any patient if they were wearing one!
I wear necklaces but am not a bracelet person so the pendant looks great. I feel safe and almost proud to wear it! P Thornton, Shrewsbury 4 Stars

The quality of the bracelet purchased is excellent. Strong ,secure and still good looking even after being on my wrist constantly for the past 5 years or more.  I have hydrocepholus , and some years ago had a relaps and was taken in to hospital. I was not in a coherent state ,and i was not at that time wearing an SOS talisman. This led the hospital staff to come to the incorrect assumption that I had taken an overdose. After this i thought it prudent to purchase some way of letting people know of my illness, in the event that i could not .  I feel that i now have peace of mined knowing that i am wearing the SOS talisman. S P Lowe Gloucester5 Stars

Excellent quality silver sos talisman. Good heavy  weight with secure catch. I am glad I  bought the talisman - I am an insulin dependent diabetic - but realise that all my family should wear one so that I could be conatcted in the event of accident. Berni Stringer, Birmingham5 Stars

SOS S/S bracelet- snake & staff: Fantastic finish & built like the Rock of Gibraltar! I liked the fact that data is INSTANTLY accessible with no further action required - no phone or internet needed! I was also attracted to the solid stainless steel construction-no maintenance. Even then, I was amazed at how tough that steel was! The length needed to be shortened, & I was just barely able to accomplish the task with two pair of pliers! Brian Weeden, Janesville, Wisconsin5 Stars

Excellent - the images showed the product off brilliantly so that when the product came it was exactly as it should be. Absolutely ideal for my Autistic & Epileptic Son. A first class product backed by a first class service.  I feel safer in the knowledge that when I am not with Tobias, those around him will know what to expect from him and what to do for him. A Wason-Cooper, Southampton 5 Stars

It's sturdy and well made. The catch is firm and I have no need to worry it will fall off my wrist, even while swimming. The engraving is very clear and makes it an attractive piece of jewellery I bought my SOS Talisman as I am disabled and take several potentially toxic medications. I worried about being taken ill and being unable to communicate. I chose the Caedacus because I travel a lot and it is a widely recognised medical symbol. Now that I have my talisman, I feel much safer and far more confident about travelling alone. A. Kavanagh, Peterborough5 Stars

Excellent quality and fits into my life situation perfectly! purchased the wrist watch talisman as I am a outdoor pursuits type of person and I don't wish to have a chain or bracelet flying around. After being recently diagnosed with Diabetes type 1 I have been concerned that if out and about anything should go wrong people would want to know what to do. This gives me peace of mind and directs people to contact and further info about me to help. It has never been off my wrist since. I also have other allergies, I would recommend everyone should have one even if it is to give some contact details in an emergency. L Peck, Derbyshire
5 Stars

The SOS Talisman is very good. I had a serious road traffic accident in 2002, and wasn't knocked out. I walk and cycle a lot, and whilst I have no medical condition, want the security of being identifiable should I have a more serious accident. Paul White, Taunton 4 Stars

Product quality is of the highest standard. It is well made, looks well when being worn and is easy to fasten/unfasten yet remains secure when worn. I have had heart problems for some time now and have undergone open heart surgery. I still have to take medication for this. I am now insulin dependent diabetic and I feel that now, more than ever, I must take steps to insure my safety when out and about on my own. To this end I chose to wear an SOS bracelet, safe in the knowledge that all my details, personal and medical, are available and secure within. T Sharp, Brough. 5 Stars

I thought the quality was really good.  It was  better than I expected. I bought this for my niece and now feel a lot happier knowing she will be safe in an emergency. We were advised by the consultant to purchase a talisman and i feel much more relaxed now she is wearing it. E Mitchell Liverpool

I was recently diagnosed with stomach cancer and I required a full gastrectomy. During the operation I had a class A allergic reaction to the gellifusion that was being transfused into me. The use of gellifusion is now the first line used by paramedics when attending an RTA trauma. If they use gellifusion on me it will kill me. Peter Jackson, Middlesbrough

It does what it says on the tin - it is waterproof!  I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and the information inside informs medical staff that I would wish them to use non-blood expanders should I loose a lot of blood. C. Prosser York4 Stars

Fantastic quality product, well made to an extremely hiqh quality. I bought this as a gift for my mother who lives 2 hours drive away and it means that I get peace of mind knowing that if an accident should occur at least all her details including contacts and allergies to certain medicines can be accessed straight away. From my mothers point of view, she feels happier that she can still do her morning beach walks and days out fishing on her own with the knowledge that if she were to have an accident she would be given the correct treatment as she is allergic to the the most common drugs given to people of her age. M Hudson, London5 Stars+!!!

Excellent and very secure. Looks like jewellery so I am happy to wear it all the time. I bought a  stainless steel bracelet (twice!) - one for me and then one for my mum. I have an allergy to penicillin, have an under-active thyroid, and a blood clotting disorder which requires me to carry a card around in my purse. The bracelet gives me extra security knowing that its with me always, whereas my purse might not be. My mum is diabetic and has the same blood clotting disorder so when she saw mine she wanted one so I got it for her Christmas. R Innes Linlithgow
5 Stars

The SOS bracelet proved to be of the highest quality, it is very functional & looks like any other piece of fine jewelery, so blends in with any outfit I am wearing. Having been recently diagnosed with a heart condition, I felt it was important to have the details available in the case of emergency. I feel comfortable and confident now, and am certain it will prove invaluable (although I hope I never need it). My sister has also been diagnosed with an allergy to ibuprofen, so I purchased another bracelet for her, hopefully it will help in the event of an emergency. B. Andrysiak, Severn, USA

Excellent. Exactly as described on the website. A quality product. I bought a Stainless Steel SOS Talisman (with Christian Cross emblem) as I have recently suffered a number of seizures following a TIA. My wife especially feels reassured that when she is out at work, if anything were to happen to me, I am now at least carrying relevant information concerning my health and medication, as well as contact details. I feel more confident knowing that I have the Talisman round my neck...which in turn enables me to get on with all the everyday activities I need to. A Collenette Southampton5 Stars

I have had a diagnosis of epilepsy for the last 18 years. I have partial-complex seizures with secondary generalised seizures. The generalised seizures present as most people think of epilepsy. that is to say I fall down and have a 'fit. However, the complex-partial type differ from the common perception of what epilepsy is. During this type of seizure I do not loose consciousness entirely and may act rather strangely. On many occasions this has led people to believe I am drunk of have an entirely different medical condition - most commonly a mental illness. of epilepsy. Although I have had epilepsy for this length of time I have only very recently purchased the SOS silver bracelet. Even then this was with reluctance. The reason for which was that essentially I had been 'instructed' to wear one by my employer.
HOWEVER, even though this purchase was made with an initial reluctance I am NOW SO PLEASED I made the purchase. I have realised that I now have the security of knowing people have access to vital information in the event that I do have a seizure.
It's purchase has made me face up to my condition - who would have thought the wearing of a bracelet could do this? More over it's purchase has also made my friends and family feel more secure. I also find that it is aesthetically pleasing and personally I think looks rather nice on me! What more could I want? Security for me, friends, family and colleagues plus a good looking piece of jewellery which lets face it not every other person in the bar will be wearing. V A Dyke, Kilbarchan

I bought the Stainless steel bracelet with sos talisman on one side and the international medical sign on the other. Also the pack with the keyring fob and the sticker for my car.
My brother has the same allergies as myself and we were both recommended to wear them by the Ear Nose & Throat clinic in London.
I bought the talisman bracelet because I have many allergies to food, drinks medicines, perfumes and animals and have suffered 2 mild anaphylactic  reactions. It would appear that this is a family trait as my brother has the same allergies although he suffered a severe anaphylactic reaction. Wearing the bracelet gives me confidence that wherever I am, should I have a reaction then anyone around me would be able to act in the correct manner and possibly save my life. The talisman jewellery is well known and therefore provides me with safety net so as to enable me to carry on every day life with confidence. E Lumsden, Dunstable

I bought the bracelet because I am taking several drugs to treat heart and lung conditions.  If any of these drugs were stopped suddenly my life would be in danger.  I feel that by wearing the bracelet, in the event of an accident the chance of this happening is greatly reduced and this gives me peace of mind and a sense of security every day that no other product can offer me. Mike Duro Salisbury

I have an unusual medical condition and other products I looked at just wouldn't explain to paramedics what was wrong or what action they should take. In fact one company actually argued with me that they knew best and wanted to put standard wording onto the pendant they were trying to sell me.
With the talisman I am able to give the information I want to provide so I am more in control and more confident of receiving appropriate treatment.
I can also change the information easily if my care need changes.
The pendant and bracelet are attractive and don't look out of place whether I'm going out for an evening or going to work.
When people lose consciousness, first aiders or paramedics will always check airways and pulse so I am confident that the important information will be found. V Shilling, Wisbech

I needed to amend details inside gold bracelet, I also wanted a lapel pin, badges for car, & pens. I feel safe when I wear my sos jewellery especially if I'm on my own. I know that if the bracelet is missed, the lapel pin, badges for car & inside purse & bag will be found. As I am allergic to 12 major anti-biotics & 4 painkillers which result in anaphyllactic shock, I am also insulin dependent diabetic. I know that all these details are inside my bracelet, purse & diary & i only have to point to bracelet to see all these details. S Stewart, Londonderry 

I bought a stainless steel pendant because I am taking steroids to support adrenal insufficiency. This means that I would need additional support if unlucky to be in an accident. The product has been simple to use, is easy to alter and is readily identifiable to medical personnel. Thank you. J Goodson, Berkshire

It's so comfortable that I sometimes forget I'm wearing it! I bought it as I suffer from a rare blood disorder which requires special procedures in the event of a blood transfusion. I feel more safe and secure when I'm wearing it. K Pringle, North Shields

I bought a new Talisman pendant to replace my old pendant (It was approx 30 years old) mainly because I felt totally naked without it. Once it became unwearable I order a replacement ASAP. How do I feel when I'm wearing it SAFE. As well as being a full time wearer for obvious reasons
I also enjoy diving as recreational/Holiday diver I always make a point of telling the dive center about my special requirements as a diver on permanent medication (Warfarin)ref to a blood disorder Laden factor V.
Those who are unfamiliar with the SOS system are amazed by its contents and immediately reassured of any action to take, in the event of an incident.
I personally wore my first pendant as a BSAC diver before my medical condition was determined and would recommend any person partaking in any form of potentially dangerous activity to wear one, relative to medical conditions or not as the case may be.
Be safe and at least carry your blood group and a contact name and number. R Ladson, Wigan

Have been with Medic Alert for many years - their product was in need of replacement - decided your was a better option - will still update Medic Alert and carry their card which shows Mmdical monditions and medication and is updated annually. Malcolm Humphreys, Swansea

The quality of the bracelet is excellent. I brought it because I suffer with extensive Heart Disease & Severe Refractory Unstable Angina. I am on maximum doses of heart medications and pain killers. I now feel a lot more confident when I go out that should anything happen, the medical staff will have all the information on my condition to hand. This is provided the medical staff recognise the bracelet and what it is for. Bob Gough, London 4 Stars

It is better than any I could find in the USA.  Thank you. I purchased because I have a life threatening allergy and it is vital that someone in the medical field that may treat me with medication know the allergy and risks.  I feel very confident knowing that I would not be given this drug if I were to become unconscious. Lesley Pierce, Seekonk, USA5 Stars

I have an allergic reaction to Penicillin which sends me into Anaphylactic shock if I just have a very small amount. (I once did up a bottle of Amoxicillin and had a bit from the lid on my finger and licked it off without thinking and went into shock almost immediately.
I am not always around people who know about my allergy and although I can usually stay clear of Penicillin I feel safer wearing my talisman as if I have  any sort of accident the emergency services would know immediately. S Amor, Newbury

T
he quality of my product was very good (sos bracelet in silver) I always use your products for myself and three children and have done for many years they are hard wearing and always look good. And most of all life saving, which with myself and children all having severe allergies to many things is very important. T Stead, Surrey 5 Stars

5 star product & also 5 star service I think that my talisman to be of high quality and does catch peoples eye. I bought it to serve as a info for any medic in case of accidents because I cannot have any  MRI scans or things of that nature G Warburton, Llandudno 5 Stars

The quality is excellent, the finish is good and it is strong enough for me not to worry that it will break and get lost. As a diabetic, I bought the talisman when I was put onto insulin, I now have additional medical conditions that are also included on the data strip, I feel confident that if I need medical help, the necessary info will get to the doctors etc so that I can get the appropriate treatment D  J  Edis, Ludford, Market Rasen5 Stars

I brought it for my son who has epilepsy.  I feel that he is a bit safer when I can't be with him, as he should receive the proper medical attention needed, because he is wearing the information about his condition. J Hazell, Buckhurst Hill4 Stars

High quality, discreet bracelet. Good fastener hard to do up alone I believe there is no way this bracelet could come undone accidentally. Good strong links zero chance of accidental loss or breakage.I was involved in a horse riding accident while at school, luckily had name and phone number in my hat when I came round Mum was already there, now go walking and travelling alone, feel better that if something happened they would know who I am and how to contact my loved ones.
T Buck, Nuneaton4 Stars

I have worn your product now for 12 years and the only item that has required changing has been the inner paper strip when my prescription has changed. A E Campion, Grantham4 Stars
