Every day, some patients who are medically ready to leave hospital experience delays for small, practical reasons, such as waiting to be collected, not having keys, or needing help getting home. While these may seem minor, they can mean spending unnecessary extra time in hospital.
When your friend, relative or loved one is ready to be discharged, our teams will do everything they can to support getting them home quickly. If you’re able to collect them promptly, bring house keys, or help with arrangements at home, it can make a big difference. If you can, please be ready to help get your loved one home as soon as they’re discharged. Together, we can support faster recovery and ensure our hospitals are there for everyone who needs them.
