Next of Kin International is a unique and innovative organisation supplying a potentially lifesaving service to its members and the Emergency services.

The organisation was a set up following the personal experience of its founder, Lee Hemington, when his mother was rushed to hospital in a coma and given just 48 hours to live. After 5 hours Lee was finally tracked down and was able to provide vital information that saved his mother's life.

Most people do not realise that the Police can have a difficult time trying to locate relatives in an emergency. This is because whilst most of us carry a credit card, driving licence, or pension book etc., these will only tell them who we are but not how to contact our nearest & dearest. The time lost trying to locate relatives with vital information could be crucial to the future well being of the casualty.

As a result of his experience, and following wide consultation with the Home Office, and Emergency services etc., the Next of Kin International service was formed, providing the Police & paramedics with a fast and simple way of tracing a patient's family. .

Since then, a range of unique services have been developed to provide simple, low cost solutions to every day worries, such as  Medical Response ™ a similar service to Next of Kin but designed for people with potentially life threatening medical conditions, and Nationwide Property Watch, a crime prevention and emergency contact system for the home. There is even a location service, Dog ID & Cat ID, for lost pets – for older people particularly, their pet is often their most important companion. . Please visit  www.nextofkin.com

The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) resolved in 2001 that they would support the work that Next of Kin International carries out and that all forces should be made aware of the free emergency contact service available to Police all over the UK.

Next of Kin has been featured in many TV news items, including London Tonight, GMTV, Anglia News, Channel 5  - plus over 50 radio stations,  many of  which have interviewed representatives from the company talking about topical issues relating to crime and accidents & emergencies.

The FREE International Next of Kin Card was launched in 2001 to support the work of the National Autistic Society. The service has received the endorsement of many well known people, including Bruce Forsyth OBE, Ronnie Corbett OBE,   June Whitfield CBE, Robert Lindsay, Craig Fairbrass, and Eamonn Holmes.
