A new form, which has been trialled successfully on the frailty unit at Noble's Hospital, will soon be getting rolled out further.

It has been created by Sonia Blake - Manx Care's Day Centre Services Manager - for use across all clinical settings, particularly those that are 'time poor', like hospital wards.

The document is the brainchild of her experience when her mum was in hospital with the later stages of Alzheimer's, and her desire for staff to know what made her mum feel safe when she couldn't be there.

It focusses on five things that matter most to the person, to help put them at ease, as Sonia told Siobhán Fletcher.
