Going into hospital
	Going into hospital for any reason is worrying for anyone.
	When going into hospital you will need to have your hospital passport. Download: Hospital passport [pdf] 672KB
	Your passport tells the hospital all about you, what is wrong and other things like any needs you have or things you like or don’t like.
	This helps staff make your stay as good as it can be.
	Community health staff will work closely with the hospital to help you get better.

On Moore Ward
	Sometimes people with a learning disability need to stay on Moore Ward where we can find out what help they need and give that help.
	The ward supports people with mental illness and challenging behaviours.
	People referred to the service may present a risk to themselves or other.
	This can make it difficult for them to live at home or to make use of other services or community facilities.
	When you come on the ward the patient information leaflet will help you to know more about the ward.
	The learning disability team will work closely with the community teams to get you get better and return home.
