What is an emergency card for carers? 

An emergency card for carers identifies you as a carer in the event of an emergency. The card does not give any personal information, but provides a phone number anyone can call. Staff answering the phone will take any action you have agreed with us like: 

• contact family/friends to let them know there is an emergency 
• visit the person you care for and arrange emergency help. 

Why do I need an emergency card? 

In the event of an emergency you will have: 

• emergency cover 24 hours a day
• peace of mind that in the event of an emergency the person you care for will be looked after.

Who can apply for a card? 

You can apply for an emergency card if you are: 

• a carer
• a cared for person living in Nottinghamshire (excluding Nottingham City) and over 18 years-old.
