Hospital visits

If you (or someone you care for) are going to hospital, for any reason, you may benefit from having a Hospital Passport.Everyone with a learning disability is encouraged to use a Hospital Passport which helps inform hospital staff about the needs of the person with a learning disability and how to support them.The passport also identifies the person who knows the patient best, such as a carer or a member of the hospital staff; they can provide valuable advice and support in understanding the person’s individual needs.You can access a copy of a hospital passport template at this link: https://elht.nhs.uk/…/2571/Hospital_Passport_Template.pdf
