Your Health Passport - here to help you get the assistance you need at work
A health passport is for employees who require support with a physical or mental health condition.
It is a place where you can store any information you would like made known about a disability, long term health condition, mental health issue or learning disability.
You can use this passport to share confidential information with your line manager about your health and any assistance you need at work to enable you to carry out your role.
For example, this could be a different start and finish time, ways of communicating at work or modifications to your desk.
You take with you as move through roles within The Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals (RBCH) and Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trusts.
