- A doctor every time
- Today, every day.
What's involved
The doctor records current health status, current medicines, mobility, cognitive function and care needs, and completes the care home's admission form. The report is factual and gives the home what it needs to plan care.
Good to know
Bring the care home's own form and a current medicines list. If you can, a GP summary from the NHS App helps the report be complete.
