Leaving Hospital
Support from discharge
In order to provide you with a safe and swift discharge from hospital, your healthcare team may refer you to the Hospital Social Worker team. The Hospital Social Worker team will complete an assessment based on your needs. The team will then provide you with information, advice and support on the best actions to meet your needs.
If you feel that you require support when leaving hospital, you can also request an assessment. You can do this by making a request to your healthcare team who will make a referral on your behalf.
If you are expecting to find your daily routines difficult at the early stages of your recovery then considering things like what equipment you are able to buy could be the way to make your recovery easier when you return home.
