Do you need to be Red Flagged? by Karen Pritchard

Do you have adrenal insufficiency or are you a pituitary patient who takes hydrocortisone? If you are then contact your local ambulance trust to Get Red Flagged on their system. If you ever call 999, you will be flagged for priority attendance by a vehicle carrying emergency hydrocortisone.

Adrenal crisis is life threatening.  I had a crisis and it was very frightening - this is why it is so important to be red flagged as a safety precaution.

How to get Red Flagged, E-mail the Pituitary Foundation for a fact sheet on how to do this: emily@pituitary.org.uk or telephone 0117 370 1310 for advice.
