Back in October, we introduced the Access Card’s new design on our Facebook & Twitter pages.
In-date Access Cards featuring the old design will still be valid and there’s absolutely no reason to update your Access Card if you don’t want to have the new design. When it comes to renewing your Access Card, your new card will feature this new design.
If, however, you would like to update your Access Card with the new design, you can order a replacement Access Card for the usual £5 reprint fee here.

The Access Card Team also shared various medical awareness posts, including World Diabetes Day, Carers Rights Day & World COPD Awareness Day.
