What helps me understand

Adjustments we are asking for

Describe the barrier and the change that would help. Record what the department has agreed.

Who will arrange each adjustment

Named role, action and date. Ask who covers support outside liaison hours.

Everyday care on the ward

Who will help with meals, drinks, medicines, toileting, moving and communication? Record supporters’ availability accurately.
