Did you know you are entitled to an Essential Companion Card when your loved one is in hospital?

Do you look after someone who needs extra support in hospital or at an appointment?

Our Essential Companion Access Card helps recognise the vital role unpaid carers, family members and friends play in supporting the people they care for.

The card can help companions stay involved in care, support mealtimes, take part in important conversations and where appropriate, access flexible visiting, overnight stays and free parking.

Speak to the nurse in charge or ward team to find out more.
