Our passport documents focus on some of the more common issues which impact Gateshead Health colleagues, and are there to act as supportive tools for colleagues and line managers alike.

Passports aim to provide Gateshead colleagues with a straightforward way of helping line managers to better understand how symptoms or responsibilities might influence you in the workplace.

In turn, the hope is that this can prompt consideration and discussion around any reasonable adjustments that may be available, and which may be able to help support you in keeping well at work. While some adjustments made through passports may help to support people physically, the ultimate intention of passports is therefore to help protect our colleagues mentally.
