Health Passports (also called Hospital Passports)

Health Passports can be used by everyone with a learning disability. If you are going to hospital or another health service for an appointment, you can fill in a health passport and take it with you. A completed health passport can help staff to support you by providing lots of useful information about any communication, anxieties, likes and dislikes you may have.

You can also send it to the Learning & Disability Autism team to add it to your computer medical record - click here for easy read information about why it is good to send your health passport to the team.

The health passport is called by different names in different areas across the UK. It does not matter which kind of passport you bring with you. The important thing is that you share useful information with hospital staff.
