Help for the person you are caring for

A Carer Passport in a hospital identifies you as being a carer for one of the hospital's patients.

This will involve you more in the patient's care, and give you further support.

If you are the main carer for someone in hospital, ask the ward if they have a Carer Passport Scheme.

The scheme may allow you to visit outside of normal visiting times, and continue providing care and support e.g. helping with meals.
