You may or may not be aware of the following service which Joint Action (the research fundraising arm of The British Orthopaedic Association) offers.

  • Provides vital information for Dentists and Doctors to help prevent the serious risks of infection
  • Gives important information to medics in the case of an accident
  • Evidence and confirmation of a replacement joint
  • Peace of mind and ease of travel at Security Checkpoints
  • Helps to reduce embarrassment if the alarm goes off
