What You Need To Know About My Condition
Polio Survivors Network with the help of The Neurological Alliance has provided an aid for Polio Survivors who are going into hospital. It is a document which can be filled in to provide medical staff with an overview of your situation and needs.
The most important thing to do is ensure that the form is up to date and to hand if you are admitted to hospital, pop it in your ‘go bag’ just in case. We hope you find it useful and would appreciate any feedback.
An digital version which can be typed into and then printed is available to download below along with a print at home form version. If you would like a form version posting to you – please request this by email.

Share your experience
Every polio survivor has a story to share. Your experience can help, encourage or even inspire others. How you have overcome challenges, what you have been able to do in your life, ways you have found to cope or just saying how tough it can be – all of these expressions can help others. It is not just helping fellow polio survivors but also helping health professionals, friends, family and carers to understand more fully what things are like for you.
