The Grab and Go sheet has been designed in partnership with people with learning disabilities and autism, families and nurses. It gives information that doctors will need if patients with a learning disability, autism or both are admitted to hospital and struggling to breathe. It is not a replacement for the everyday, detailed hospital passport.
You can use these guidance notes to help you complete the Grab and Go sheet.
