Leaving hospital

About the range of services we provide

Leaving hospital


You may feel concerned about how you'll cope after you're discharged from hospital. Many people worry they'll be a burden on their family, but there are many people who can give different kinds of support.

You may need equipment, rehabilitation or support, or help with everyday chores. You may need medical help to change dressings and give injections, or you may need more personal care to be able to wash and dress. Many people may simply need emotional support or someone to talk to.

Your needs will be assessed in detail by a team of professionals including a ward nurse. This includes details about the support you'll receive at home including where and how often you'll receive it, contact details for all health professionals involved and who to contact in emergencies.
