This 'top tips for patients' poster has been developed to help patients, or their families and friends, plan for an in-patient stay. The information highlights the importance of communication, vision impairment awareness and practical support in an in-patient setting.
Patients may enter an acute hospital setting with a vision impairment. Despite vision impairment being prevalent in the older in-patient population, it is largely unacknowledged in the acute hospital setting and in caregiving practices.
