Our condition-specific alert cards help ensure you get the right care in an emergency. They provide essential information about your condition and practical guidance for healthcare professionals who may not be familiar with muscle wasting conditions.

We offer cards for the following conditions: Becker muscular dystrophy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, congenital muscular dystrophies, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, GNE myopathy, inclusion body myositis, myotonic dystrophy types 1 and 2, oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy types 1, 2, and 3, and for undiagnosed muscle wasting conditions.
We develop our alert cards with input from neuromuscular specialists and our community, making sure the information is accurate, reliable, and genuinely helpful. The card is small enough to carry in a purse or wallet, so it’s always there when you need it.
You can order a physical alert card by filling in our form, or request one by emailing info@musculardystrophyuk.org or calling our helpline on 0800 652 6352. The digital versions of our alert cards are available for download below.
