Review the resident's emergency pack
Once you select a resident, the app displays their full emergency hospital transfer pack. The pack is built from several sections. Some are always visible, and some are collapsible so you can focus on what you need.
At the top, you'll always see two buttons:
Change Resident: returns you to the selection screen.
Generate Pack: opens the section selector and prints the pack. This is covered in the Generate and print the pack section below.
Critical Information & Demographics
This section is always shown in full and is never collapsed. It holds the most safety-critical information: name, photo, National Health Service (NHS) number, Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR) and Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) status, dementia flag, date of birth, gender, room, and admission date.
Emergency Transfer Information
This section is open by default. It contains three parts:
Vital signs: temperature, blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, weight, and blood glucose, each with a last recorded timestamp.
Items sent with resident: a checklist covering medications, glasses, hearing aids, dentures, mobile phone, clothing and toiletries, and an other option with a free-text field.
Progress notes: the most recent notes. If there are more than two, click Show more.
Primary and Secondary Contacts
This section is collapsed by default. Click the section header to expand it. It shows next of kin and emergency contacts, with their relationship and phone number.
Clinical Information
This section is collapsed by default. It shows the resident's General Practitioner (GP) details, nominated hospital, diagnoses, and allergies.
Current Medications
This section is collapsed by default. It lists each medication with its dose, frequency, route, and reason. Controlled drugs are flagged in purple, and high-risk medications are flagged in amber.
MAR Report
This section is collapsed by default and labelled Last 7 days. It shows a Medication Administration Record (MAR) snapshot so hospital staff can see recent adherence at a glance.
Preferences
This section is collapsed by default. It shows dietary requirements, religious needs, and language preference.
Legal
This section is collapsed by default. It shows Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) status and any Lasting Power of Attorney details for health and welfare, or property and finance.
Generate and print the pack
When you're ready to hand the pack to hospital staff:
Click Generate Pack.
A Select Sections to Include dialog opens, listing every section with a checkbox.
Critical Information & Demographics is required and can't be deselected.
Use Select All or Deselect All to quickly adjust your choice, or select sections individually.
Click Print to confirm your selection. The dialog closes, and your browser's print dialog opens automatically with only the chosen sections included.
