Why you should wear a wristband when you are staying in hospital
A wristband is used to identify you during your hospital stay. It is essential to wear a wristband (also known as an identity band) with your accurate details on it as it ensures that staff can identify you correctly and give you the right care.
In the hospital
It should be explained to you, either in a pre-admission letter or when you are admitted to hospital, that you are expected to wear a wristband at all times to ensure your safety during your stay.
A member of staff should put two wristbands on you as soon as you are admitted to the ward and you should wear these throughout your stay. At London Bridge Hospital we use two identity bands in case one has to be removed for a procedure and these will be put on each wrist. The wristbands will include all essential information about you that the staff need to confirm your identity. All hospital patients should wear wristbands at all times.
If you have an allergy you will be given red identity bands containing your details to wear throughout your stay. This will alert staff to the fact that you have an allergy.
The member of staff will check that the details on the band including the spelling of your names and date of birth are correct before putting them on you. Throughout your stay your details will be checked by a member of staff before you undergo any procedure and they will ask you to confirm your name and date of birth on several occasions to ensure that we give you the right care at all times.
How can you help?
You can help by checking the wristbands very carefully before they are put on your wrists to ensure the details and spellings are correct. Please take you time to do this as it is very important that these details are correct. If the information on your wristband is not correct please tell your nurse.
If you do not have a wristband please ask a member of staff for one. If it comes off or is uncomfortable, ask a member of staff to replace
