What an escort may help with
Support depends on the agreed scope, hospital rules, the person's needs, any required authorisation and the confirmed escort. It may include:
- Meeting at an agreed place and accompanying someone to a hospital, clinic, rehabilitation or treatment location.
- Help with registration, check-in, waiting, queues and finding the right department.
- Following the hospital's process to reach examinations, payment counters or the pharmacy.
- Collecting prescribed medicine only where authorised and feasible. This does not include administering medicine or interpreting a prescription.
- Non-clinical progress updates to family through the agreed contact method.
