Advanced Protection Service

Many New Zealanders have a written Advance Directive (also known as a living will).

It tells Medical Professionals and emergency services how you wish to be treated in certain circumstances.

For instance, if you have cancer, suffer a very serious and traumatic brain injury, have a heart attack or simply do not want to be resuscitated.

MedicAlert make a copy of your Written Advance Directives electronically accessible to emergency services and clinicians when an incident occurs so your instructions can be respected.

MedicAlert^® can lodge any Medical Alarm Service Provider Client Number in our system.

Allowing emergency services to access your MedicAlert^® Patient Vitals Record via this number, in the same way your MedicAlert^® Membership Number provides access to your record.

MedicAlert^® provides all New Zealand Emergency Ambulance Call Centre Services direct access to your MedicAlert^® Patient Vitals Record – Nationwide.

It could be vitally important for Medical Professionals to quickly identify and locate your Enduring Power of Attorney – Welfare in a Medical Emergency. If you have had your Lawyer prepare this legal document that identifies your Enduring Power of Attorney – Welfare and their powers, lodge an electronically accessible copy with MedicAlert^® immediately.
