MIA Memberships
MEMBERSHIPS CAN BE PURCHASED ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT TRAVEL INSURANCE
MIA stands for Medical Information Anywhere and is a web based membership scheme, which allows the member to store, access and edit their medical, contact and personal information, at anytime from anywhere in the world.
In addition it provides a free 24/7 assistance service who in an emergency can be contacted by the treating facility from the information contained on the ID Card and/or key ring attachment given to each membership, which shows the telephone number of the Emergency Assistance Team and the member’s membership number. After checks, life saving information stored by the member can be released, including contact numbers for consultants and family.

Allows the member to capture next of kin contact details in case of emergency but also allows capture of Power of Attorney details etc.Medication
Lists all medication taken, not only currently but previously and allows the input of over the counter medication. It also allows the member to place a note concerning adverse effects they may have encountered.Medical History
Includes details of all pertinent illnesses including GP details and consultant’s details.Family History
The capture of the medical history of your family provides the physician with an invaluable diagnostic tool and having it readily available avoids the stress should it prove necessary to provide it.Vaccinations
This not only allows the member to record their vaccinations, it will remind them for boosters etc. Invaluable for families with young children or even for the pet lovers with new puppies!Optical
This section not only allows you to capture your prescription details but explains all about the eye, giving diagrams, 20/20 vision and long and short sightedness. In the event of a loss, the member can either allow the optician to have access to their membership, or simply print off a copy to obtain a replacement pair avoiding the cost of an examination.Dental
This allows the member to capture information about every tooth and the treatment received or to be received. Again in the spirit of providing our members with the ability to have knowledge and take control, there are diagrams explaining all about the tooth. In tragic emergency situations, this information can be used as an identification tool.Prosthesis
This can be used to enter details including consultant contact details of anything from a false tooth to breast implant, false leg to pacemaker. Having all the information to hand could help avoid unnecessary invasive surgery when the member is away from their usual healthcare network.Personal Documents
Members can capture such things as passport details (it also has a direct link into the lost passport department of the UK passport office), Driving licence details, car breakdown details and card protection plans etc.Notes
This is purely for the members use and they can use it as they please. Capturing daily symptoms, following diets, copying names and addresses for postcards, capturing credit card numbers and the associated lost/stolen telephone number, copying a speech or other business information. In fact it can be used for anything, it is like having a notebook that you don’t have to remember to bring or worry about losing.
