We know that many of our patients have different needs and may not always feel able to share personal information about themselves verbally. Our range of ‘passports’ allow patients to share information that is important to them, so that we can provide the person centred care you need.
We are committed to supporting Veterans and their loved ones using our services. You will find “Veterans passport to Health and Social care” booklets around the main hospital site, please feel free to take on and complete it if you your spouse or partner have ever served in the Armed Forces .
You can then bring your passport to hospital appointments, this will give us the information that you wish to share, and allow us to deliver person centred care and provide additional support if needed.
Please ask a member of staff for a “Veterans passport to health and social care” booklet
This passport allows you to share with us your preferred methods of communication, and enables us to provide the level and support that is right for you. These passports can be found around and about the hospital site. Please ask a member of staff for a copy of the passport.
The Mental Health and Wellbeing Passport is a tool for you to help you to share information about you mental health and emotional wellbeing. It is something that can be used in many situations and settings, where it is important for you to inform professionals about any support you may need.
The Mental Health and Wellbeing Passport is a small booklet that holds different pieces of information about you. The passport’s purpose is to ensure that you do not have to repeat any information that is difficult to talk about, but want people to be aware of.
The passport would be yours to keep and use when needed as it can help them to inform professionals about any key information. You can ask a member of staff for a copy of the passport.
“This is Me” is a personal passport document designed to help health and social care professionals better understand patients who are living with dementia—especially those who have difficulty in communicating
“This is Me” captures key information about a person’s:
- Preferred name and how they like to be addressed
- Cultural and family background
- Important people, places, and life events
- Likes, dislikes, routines, and communication preferences
It’s not a medical document, but a snapshot of the person’s life and personality, helping staff deliver care that is respectful, compassionate, and tailored to the individual.
“This is Me” can be filled out by the individual, their family, carers, or support workers. It’s often a meaningful activity that sparks memories and strengthens relationships.
