Patient Passport
Keeping a record of who helps you to stay healthy should include your Doctor, Dentist, Optician and anyone else who helps you to stay healthy. Some young people keep a document called a ‘The Patient Passport’ this helps them to communicate their needs to health professionals to make sure that they receive the correct care and advice.
What does a Patient Passport include?
It would have information all about you, a photograph, and sections on things professionals (doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and other health workers) must know about you, things that are important to you and your likes and dislikes. It is your document so should reflect your thoughts and feelings.
