Confirm the escort’s role
Sedation methods and requirements differ. Ask whether an escort is needed, must stay during treatment or provide overnight support. UCLH’s intravenous sedation information describes adult-escort duties and activity restrictions; use your own provider’s instructions for the actual plan.
Plan collection and recovery
Enter the clinic’s local time, collection point, transport and recovery address. Note stairs, keys or other access needs. A taxi alone does not supply supervision. The clinical team decides discharge timing, so collection time remains an estimate.
Copy clinical instructions
Record advice about food, drink, medicines, activity and supervision exactly. Resolve conflicting instructions with the team. The worksheet does not clear you to drive, fast or stop medicine. Arrange care for dependants and backup support if needed.
Prepare the handover
Name who handles each task and distinguish planned arrangements from completed ones. Before leaving, obtain written instructions and an out-of-hours number, with explanations for you and your escort. Seek clinical or local urgent advice for concerning symptoms rather than waiting for a coordinator.
Review and keep it private
Check names, numbers and the destination together. Tell the team promptly if support falls through. Completing the sheet does not authorise sedation, discharge or confirm service availability. Entries are not stored by the tool; protect any downloaded or printed copy.
