HUDDERSFIELD people with hidden medical conditions are being offered life-saving help.

The MedicAlert Foundation, a national charity, has received £1,000 to buy bracelets engraved with the wearer's medical conditions.

The cash will help MedicAlert supply free bracelets, which normally cost about £30, for Yorkshire residents on a limited income.

The MedicAlert system enables the emergency services to access a wearer's medical details immediately, saving vital seconds and aiding accurate treatment.

Each bracelet is engraved with the person's medical conditions and a 24-hour emergency phone number to access their details from anywhere in the world in over 100 languages.
