Did you know that PSPA provides a selection of handy downloads to help you document and communicate your condition with others? One of these publications is the ‘All About Me’ leaflet. This is designed for people receiving professional care at home, in a hospital, respite care, nursing home, or care home. You and your carer can use it to inform staff of your individual needs, preferences, likes and dislikes. Once filled in, you can hand it to anyone to inform them of your condition so they can be more informed about the care you require and your needs.
