Carer Passport
The Carer Passport supports staff to honour our carers' pledge by acknowledging the patient has a carer in place and values their input. Whilst you are providing carer support at the Trust, we will ask you what support you as a carer may need and will strive to support you or help you find relevant support.
This may include:
• Ensuring the patient’s discharge planning takes your needs and abilities into account
• Opportunity for training and education to help you prepare for discharge and become confident in new or complex care cases
• Review the possibility of staying overnight if requested
We are able to offer you:
• Regular hot drinks on the Ward
• Flexible visiting hours
• Car parking concessions (may be available)
If this sounds like something you would benefit from using and the person you care for comes to one of our WUTH hospitals, please send an email with your name and postal address, and we will send one out to you. Or please ask a staff member on the Ward on your next visit, they will be able to provide you with a passport and go through it with you.
