Before the VIP Red Bag project, important documents such as hospital passports, Do Not Resuscitate forms and personal belongings were mislaid or misused. These documents provide important information and explain how to support a person with learning disabilities and any adjustments that need to be made for their care.
The VIP Red Bag keep all of these documents in one place. It helps healthcare professionals better understand the person they're treating, and they are able to make any adjustments if necessary.
You can request a VIP Red Bag if you have a learning disability (aged over 14) and live in Wakefield District. Please contact the Wakefield team on thevipredbag@choicesupport.org.uk
