Hospital Passports

I am due for my hospital passport to be updated , I know it needs to go with me when admitted to hospital, but I wonder why it seems to be only for that purpose and not for use when attending hospital outpatient appointments ?

  • A hospital passport contains a summary of the patients vital information on paper.  Such as.

    • Name 
    • Address 
    • Date of birth
    • GP details
    • Dentist details 
    • All medication being used.
    • Next of kin.
    • Known allergies.

    It's handed into reception when one arrives, so they don't need to.ask for all this information, it's in front of them.
