Emergency hospital documents for download

March 24, 2020

Going into hospital is never an easy time for anyone, but for someone with a learning disability and complex needs, it can be extremely stressful.

As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to grow it is important that we try and formulate some sort of plan should our loved-one with Smith-Magenis syndrome face staying in the hospital.

With this in mind, we have prepared three documents for you to download to help explain SMS to the medical personnel and provide specific key information about the person being treated.

SMS Key Characteristics Factsheet

This document is a generic ‘at-a-glance’ factsheet summarising the key characteristics of the syndrome. The document is a single sheet which can be printed and includes a QR code linking directly to our website for further information about the syndrome.

SMS Hospital Passport

This document provides a framework for medical information that is specific to the person with SMS. Print out and fill in the fields.

Editable (Microsoft Word) version

SMS Alert Card

The alert card is a document the size of a credit card that carries the basic details of the person with SMS and designed to fit inside a wallet and used in the case of an emergency. The alert card can either be edited in Word, or filled in by hand. The card also includes a QR code linking to our website for further information, and the contact details of Hazel Wotherspoon (Chairperson) and Nigel Over (CEO).
