Are you aware of the Carers Passport?
Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust (RCHT) and the Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CFT) recognise the vital support that carers provide and outline in this passport what is available to carers attending one of our hospitals.
The Carer Passport is given to identified carers of inpatients of Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust and Cornwall Foundation Trust for use during their cared for person’s time as an inpatient.
RCHT and CFT recognise the vital support that carers provide and holders of a Carer Passport will be entitled to regular liquid refreshment, flexible visiting hours, and where applicable, free car parking and a meal / drink voucher to be used in the main hospital restaurant or pod may be provided.
The Carer Passport is intended to be used in conjunction with the peninsula recognised Carers Emergency Card.
