Helping me in Hospital booklet
Before you come into Hospital, it is really important that this Help me in Hospital booklet is filled out as well as it can be by someone who knows the person really well as the nurses will use this to help them plan care for the patient with learning disabilities if they come into hospital.
These are the forms we need you to have when you come into hospital. They help hospital staff understand who you are and what you need. They can be filled in by you or your carer / supporter. If you need help with any of these forms, you can talk to us about it.

The Emergency Grab Sheet is the form you need to bring with you if you come into hospital by ambulance or into the Emergency Department.
The Disability Distress Assessment Tool (DisDAT) is a form for staff to understand when you are happy or when you not happy or when you are in pain. This can be filled in by staff. Click here to see a copy of the form.
