Launch of Our Dorset Hospital Carer Passport at University Hospitals Dorset
2022-11-24 | University Hospitals Dorset
Staff at University Hospitals Dorset recognise that carers are often the experts in their cared-for person’s care and want to support and work with carers to ensure a smooth patient and carer experience in hospital. Carers have a right, but not a duty, to continue to care while their cared-for person is in hospital.
This Carers Rights Day University Hospitals Dorset are launching a new ‘Our Dorset’ Hospital Carer Passport. The scheme includes:

Flexibility with visiting times
Inclusion in care
Inclusion to assist at mealtimes
Involvement in discussing and planning for discharge
Access to information about patient care (with relevant consent)

For more information please call the Carer Support Service on 0300 019 8714 or email carersupport@uhd.nhs.uk
