Hospital passport – the hospital passport is designed to help people communicate their needs (including how they communicate, likes and dislikes, sensory needs and what is important to them) to doctors, nurses and other health and care staff. People with learning disabilities can complete the passport (with support where needed) and this information can be used by health and care professionals to know how best to support them and to make sure the right reasonable adjustments are in place.
