The Care Compass®Emergency Planning · Digital PDF · 7 pages
The right information, ready when it’s needed
When something unexpected happens, nobody wants to be hunting for the NHS number, the list of medicines or the key safe code. This folder keeps the essentials together, so family, carers or a trusted friend can find them quickly.
The problem
In an emergency, details are hard to find.
A hospital admission or a call from a care provider often comes without warning. Paramedics, hospital staff and family members all need the same information, and it’s rarely kept in one place.
Who it’s for
Families supporting someone at home, using care services, or living with a long-term condition.
Fill it in once, keep it somewhere everyone knows, and update it when things change.
What’s inside
Seven pages, six sections.
- Key contacts: personal details, NHS number, GP, next of kin and main carer
- Medical information: conditions, allergies, current medicines and important health notes
- Legal and care documents: where to find the LPA, DNACPR form and Advance Care Plan
- Care providers and services: carers, nurses, social worker, pharmacy and other professionals
- Home access and practical information: keys, entry codes, pets and household notes
- Communication plan: who should be contacted first in an emergency
The free Emergency Information Checklist covers what to gather. This folder gives it a printable home. In an emergency, always call 999.
Why The Care Compass
“I built The Care Compass because I needed it myself, navigating my mum’s dementia and my dad’s terminal illness at the same time. So much of it was finding the right piece of paper, the right number, or the right word at the right moment.”
— Steve Evans, founder
