MEDIBAND CASE STUDY
Parents are always keen to ensure the safety of their children at all times, and when your child suffers from a medical condition or
allergy, this becomes even more important.
Nicky and Rich Marshall, who live in York, both understand the peace of mind a medical ID bracelet can offer. Their son, 10 year old Owen, suffers from
allergies to peanuts, dust mites and tree pollens. Nicky performed an internet search and came across the UK Mediband site.
As part of Owen’s condition, he carries epi-pens, but has recently come to an age where he goes out more frequently on his own. He also has a number of sporting interests which means he is regularly left in the care of teachers and coaches, and needs to communicate his
allergies.
Rich Marshall comments: “Owen suffered one severe reaction a few years ago but we have, thankfully, been able to manage his condition extremely well since. He goes out and about with his friends during school holidays, and has also recently been on several residential school trips, where he is away from us for several nights at a time.

Children’s safety is always paramount in the eyes of parents. This is especially true if your child suffers from a specific medical condition or allergy. Luckily, Mediband is able to provide peace of mind in case an unexpected event should happen.

Fiona Copland from Dumfries has two daughters, aged six and three, who both suffer from asthma, as well as a 16 month old son who has a lactose intolerance. She carried out an internet search and came across the Mediband site.
Fiona says: “The girls used to wear SOS bracelets but they both hated them because they were so heavy. Jewellery had to be taken off during PE at school as well, which also meant it was left there quite often. I was after something light that would be safe to wear at all times. As these bands are fashionable at the moment, it ticked all the right boxes.” Mediband has a large range fashionable medical bracelets for both men, women and children, in sizes to suit everyone.
