The Carer Gateway have created an electronic template for carer’s to use and the latest version can be accessed here.
An emergency care plan makes it easy for someone to take over from you in a hurry. It has all the information about the person you care for in one place, so you can get it quickly and easily.
The emergency care plan has:
- emergency contacts
- the care needs of the person you care for
- medical information and contacts
- a medicine list
- carer emergency cards
You can use as many of these sections as you need – it’s up to you.
