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 ?
Strange question, what is a hospital passport?
A hospital passport contains a summary of the patients vital information on paper. Such as.
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.
Not that they update that when you tell them either.
So it's basically the summary page attached to your medical notes.
