The card’s development has been a joint project involving the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) Patient Safety Committee, the NHS England and Improvement (NHSE/I) Patient Safety Group and the Society for Endocrinology.
The wording and information within it have been checked carefully over an extended period of time. Wording is being double checked currently to ensure wording on the reverse incorporates phrases that trigger the response by ambulance services. Clearly the medical advice on the reverse is an initial emergency management guide only.
The QR code on the reverse of the card directs the enquirer to the adrenal crisis page on the Society for Endocrinology website (www.endocrinology.org/adrenal-crisis). All relevant details are on that page, which can be updated easily.
