Last December, we launched our handy Alert Cards which not only contain useful information about your PSP or CBD symptoms, they also have space for you to include an emergency contact and links to our interactive resource for healthcare professionals.
If you are based in the UK and would like an alert card, please email us at helpline@pspassociation.org.uk specifying whether you would like a PSP or CBD card.
These are a brilliant idea, David wanted something that he could just point to, especially when he was in the home during my respite stays. There wasn’t anything around then, so I made a laminated card that he could wear round his neck on a lanyard.
I don’t know if these come with a holder or lanyard, but if not, it’s a great idea as it can be in an obvious, easy accessible place. Possibly also for future ideas, a space for the holders name so immediate contact is there?
Just an idea.
I really recommend something like this when either in the early stages the holder is out and about, or later when perhaps in a chair somewhere.
