Emergency Contacts on Phone

In the event of an emergency, it is very useful if people have an emergency contact set up on their phone. If someone is unable to respond, it is possible to find out their emergency contact from their phone without needing permission.

We strongly recommend that all members ensure that they have set up an emergency contact on their phone.

Setup iPhone Emergency Contact(s)

To add an emergency contact on your iPhone, open the Health app

tap your profile picture (top right), select Medical ID, then tap Edit. Scroll to Emergency Contacts, tap Add Emergency Contact, and choose a contact from your list. Make sure the ‘Show When Locked’ is switched to On. If you already have an emergency contact(s) then you can click Edit if you need to amend details.

Setup Android Emergency Contact(s)

To add an emergency contact on an Android phone, go to Settings, then tap "Safety and emergency" and select "Emergency contacts." From there, you can add a contact and enable the option to show them on the lock screen.
