Does your child or young person have a health passport? 📋

A health passport is a document that helps healthcare professionals understand your child better. It can include information about:

💚How they communicate
💚What helps them feel safe
💚 Sensory needs and triggers
💚 Medical conditions and medications
💚 Things they may find difficult
💚 How they express pain or distress

For many families, a health passport can also reduce the need to repeatedly explain their child's needs to different healthcare professionals. Instead of having the same conversations over and over again, important information is available in one place for staff to refer to.

Sharing a health passport before a hospital appointment, admission or emergency visit can help staff provide more personalised care and reduce stress for both your child and your family.

Many NHS trusts provide their own templates, often called a health passport, hospital passport, learning disability passport or communication passport.

If your child/young person doesn't already have one, try searching your local NHS trust's website or asking your GP surgery, learning disability nursing team, paediatrician or hospital for a template.

💡 Keep a digital copy on your phone so it's always available if you need unexpected medical care.
