Reasonable Adjustments Q&As

Reasonable Adjustments Digital Flag – Information for Patients.

We are committed to making our services accessible and inclusive for all patients. If you have a disability, long-term condition, sensory impairment, learning disability, autism, mental health need, or any other difficulty that affects how you access healthcare, you may benefit from a Reasonable Adjustments Digital Flag.

This is a secure national NHS record that helps healthcare staff understand what reasonable adjustments you may need, such as extra time for appointments, communication support, or information in a different format. With your consent, this information can be shared with other NHS services involved in your care, helping to ensure your needs are recognised and supported consistently. You can tell us about your reasonable adjustment needs at any time, and we will review them regularly with you.
