How to prepare your patient for a hospital visit

NCL Wide
  • Ask the patient's carer to fill in a Hospital Passport (Download below) for them to take into hospital. This contains basic information to help them and the hospital staff if admission to hospital is needed or when attending an appointment.
  • Encourage the patient to watch the UCLH Learning Disabilities videos or RFL Going into Hospital video prior to their visit
  • Notify the appropriate hospital acute liaison nurses for learning disability patients that the person is coming into the hospital
