Your FAQ

Question: What is 'hospital discharge'?

Answer: The process of leaving hospital once you are well enough is called hospital discharge. Your Consultant will decide when you are medically fit enough to be discharged, but the final decision might involve several different people; perhaps the nurses on your ward, your GP and staff from your Adult Services department.
Your discharge should not come as a shock, planning for the time when you leave hospital should begin almost as soon as you are admitted. Hospital discharge procedures are intended to make sure that you have help and support at home if needed.
