MyMedicalSupport

Thyroid UK is launching a new partnership a new company, MyMedicalSupport, who have created a secure medical ID service designed to make sure your vital health information is accessible in an emergency.

Living with a thyroid condition can be unpredictable – MyMedicalSupport can help keep you safe.

People with thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or thyroid cancer often manage complex medication schedules and experience sudden health changes, from fatigue and dizziness to life-threatening emergencies such as myxoedema coma or thyroid storm.

In critical situations, first responders need immediate access to accurate medical information – but what if you cannot speak for yourself?

The Solution – A Digital Medical ID

MyMedicalSupport is a UK-based digital medical ID service that securely stores your essential medical information. First responders can instantly see your thyroid condition, medications (such as levothyroxine, liothyronine, natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) or carbimazole), and other health details by scanning a QR code or tapping a Near Field Communication (NFC) card (same tech as contactless debit/credit cards) or bracelet.

Even better, your chosen emergency contacts automatically receive an SMS alert as soon as your profile is accessed, so your family knows help is on the way.

Why It’s Important for Thyroid Patients

• Medication Awareness – Emergency treatments may interact with thyroid medication, so responders must know what you take.
• Faster Diagnosis – Symptoms like fainting or confusion can be mistaken for other conditions unless responders know about your thyroid history.
• Peace of Mind for Loved Ones – SMS alerts keep your family informed instantly in an emergency.

There are three subscription options, depending on your needs.
