What we have been talking about……..

Hospital Passports Sharon has been telling

members about the Hospital Passport.

Sharon says ‘Hospital Pass-ports are really important. You fill it out before you go into hospital and take it with you. The doctors and nurses then know about you.

Flu jabs

Long term health Problems

We found out that not everyone had had one.

Some people didn’t know why they had one. Some people said they were not given a choice.

Some people knew they had long term health problems, many didn’t.

Most people had their health managed by

family, carers or

support staff, so could not answer the questions.

Looking After Your Teeth

Devon Link Up members have been looking at their teeth with help from Tracey Andrews, an oral health educator who works for Torbay and South Devon Clinical Commissioning group.

Tracey explained how to brush teeth properly and talked to

everyone about

sugary drinks and how sugar affects your teeth.

People needed

reminding about good dental care.
