Tell us your experience of Hospital Discharge

Healthwatch routinely carries out short surveys to gather the views of people about health and social care services. This month we’re keen to understand your experiences of hospital discharge.

We'd like to hear from people discharged from hospital in the last 12 months, or from their relatives, carers or friends, about their experience.

Being discharged from hospital

When you leave hospital after treatment, you go through a process called hospital discharge.

Healthcare professionals should work with you and the people most important to you, to ensure your transfer out of hospital is safe, appropriate, and timely. They should discuss your needs with you and how they will be met after leaving hospital. More information is available from the NHS here.
