Could one communication needs check show that information works?
Choose one person's communication need and trace six steps:
1. Ask what support is needed.
2. Record the need clearly.
3. Flag it so the right people notice.
4. Share it safely with those who need to act.
5. Act by providing the right support.
6. Review whether the support still works.
NHS England's Accessible Information Standard says NHS and publicly funded adult social care services should identify, record, flag, share, meet and review information and communication support needs related to disability, impairment or sensory loss.
This six-step trace is an original Care Sync Experts practice prompt. It does not replace individual assessment, consent, information governance duties or your local procedures.
