Go hospitalized

If you are disabled and need hospital treatment, it is important to inform the hospital about the nature of disability and the additional support they need.
If your GP does not apply to treatment, notify the medical staff of their needs. You can discuss your needs with the hospital staff when they complete the registration form on arrival at hospital.
Access form gives medical staff an idea of how much help you might need during your stay in the hospital. You may want to discuss:
All the routines are


special equipment that the hospital may be unable to provide
a carer with you at any given time
access to facilities such as bathrooms and toilets
using a fixed loop or captions for television or radio

Benefits

Before going to the hospital, it is important to notify relevant authorities of benefits. For more information about the hospital stay will affect your benefits, please visit Directgov: stay in the hospital and its benefits.

Consent to treatment

For some procedures, including surgery, will be asked to sign a consent form. For more information, see Consent to medical treatment.
If you love a person who has limited mental capacity and are hospitalized, you have to give consent for treatment on their behalf. For more information, see the direct caregivers: Mental Capacity Act.

Leaving the hospital

If you have a disability, staff will arrange transport for you if necessary, to return home after leaving the hospital.
If you are recently disabled, or gave birth to a child with disabilities, will tell the local hospital social services so you can get the help you need. To find the financial support they may be entitled to see Directgov: A guide to financial assistance for people with disabilities.
