Emergency Folder

Keep essential medical, care and contact information ready in one place.

Whether there is a hospital admission, a care-home call or someone else needs to step in, this folder helps the right information travel with your family.

This printable PDF includes 7 carefully designed pages, covering:

✓ Grab Sheet: one page with the essentials for paramedics or A&E

✓ Key Contacts: full name, date of birth, NHS number, home address, GP surgery and telephone number, next of kin, main carer

✓ Medical Information: medical conditions, allergies, current medicines, important health notes

✓ Legal & Care Documents: Lasting Power of Attorney, DNACPR or ReSPECT form, Advance Care Plan, where important documents are kept

✓ Care Providers & Services: care providers, community nurses, social worker, pharmacy, other key professionals

✓ Home Access & Practical Information: spare key location, who knows the alarm code (not the code itself), pet information, important household notes

✓ Communication Plan: who should be contacted first in an emergency

✓ Keeping It Up to Date: a simple log so the folder stays current

It's equally useful for families supporting someone at home, those receiving care services, or anyone living with a long-term condition. For use anywhere in the UK.
