Hospital discharge

Overview

No one wants to stay in hospital for longer than they need to and it is generally better for your recovery if you are back in the comfort of your own home.

When your doctor feels you are ready to leave hospital, there are many options for support.

If you do need any support, this will be discussed with you before you are discharged.

You may be able to go straight home without any support, or you may need a bit of help from family and friends or possibly from a local service.

We can support either your return home with some support if needed, or to accommodation if you need more intensive support to help you recover.
