We are committed to providing accessible and personalised healthcare for everyone. One way we do this is through the Reasonable Adjustments Flag. Here’s what it means for you:
- What is the Reasonable Adjustments Flag? (RADF)
The Reasonable Adjustments Flag is a digital tool used within the NHS to record any specific adjustments you might need when accessing healthcare services. This ensures that your needs are known and can be accommodated across different healthcare settings. You can find more information about the RADF by clicking here. - Why is it Important?
By having a Reasonable Adjustments Flag, healthcare providers can tailor their services to better meet your individual needs. This might include adjustments for physical access, communication preferences, or any other specific requirements you have. - How Does it Work?
Once your needs are identified, they are recorded in your health records. This information is then shared with relevant healthcare providers, ensuring that your needs are considered whenever you access NHS services. - How to Set Up a Flag:
If you believe you need reasonable adjustments, please speak to your GP or healthcare provider. They can help assess your needs and ensure the appropriate adjustments are recorded. - Review and Update:
It’s important to regularly review and update your Reasonable Adjustments Flag to ensure it accurately reflects your current needs.
