Arthritis Medical ID
Do You Need a Medical Alert Bracelet or Medical ID for Arthritis?
If you have arthritis, wearing an Arthritis medical alert bracelet or necklace is a simple and effective way to ensure medical professionals and first responders are aware of your condition in an emergency. Arthritis can affect mobility, dexterity, and the types of medication you take, some of which may have important implications for emergency treatment. Wearing a medical ID helps ensure you receive the right care quickly, even if you are unable to communicate at the time.
Our range of medical ID bracelets, necklaces, and accessories feature the internationally recognised medical alert symbol and can be engraved with your medical and emergency details, so they can speak for you when you cannot.
What Should You Put on an Arthritis Medical ID?
It’s always best to confirm engraving details with your doctor or specialist. If you’re unsure, we’ve included some useful recommendations below.
As a minimum, your medical ID should include:
• Arthritis (or type, for example, Rheumatoid Arthritis or Osteoarthritis)
• An ICE (In Case of Emergency) phone number
You may also wish to include:
• Your name
• Any medications you take regularly (for example, steroids, methotrexate, or biologics)
• Any allergies or sensitivities
• “See medical card” (if you carry one)
• Any other important medical conditions
If your chosen medical ID allows engraving on both sides, we suggest placing essential medical details, such as “Rheumatoid Arthritis, Steroid Dependent”, on the front, and your personal or ICE information on the back.

Arthritis Medical Alert Necklaces
A medical alert necklace is another excellent way to carry your vital information. Our engraved dog tags and pendants can include multiple lines of text, perfect for displaying key details such as your condition, medications, and emergency contact number.

Arthritis Medical Bags and ID Cards
If you carry medication or supplies such as pain relief or injections, our medical bags are ideal for keeping everything organised and protected. They are also useful for travel or everyday outings.
We recommend carrying a medical ID card in your wallet or phone case. This allows you to include more detailed information, such as your full medication list, GP contact details, and NHS number. If you have a medical card, we suggest engraving “See medical card” on your bracelet or necklace.
