Care Bags
We are currently trialling a project. We are offering care bags to patients who have a learning disability or Autism. Patients will be given a care bag when they come into hospital. The care bags have been developed by people who have lived experience of a learning disability or Autism.
The care bags contain items designed to support people when they are in hospital:
- Ear defenders.
- Eye mask.
- Sensory fiddle items.
- Colouring book.
The care bags also contain other items for providing distraction and engagement.

The pathways are underpinned by a core set of values and principles.
