If you, a family member, or friend are being admitted to hospital, start to think about what will happen when you leave. Please think ahead of any changes that could be made at home or any family and friends who might help to get you or your relative home as soon as possible.
Due to the extreme demands that hospitals continue to face, people may be asked to transfer to an alternative care setting out of hospital after their treatment, to start their recovery.
This is necessary so that space can be made available for the next person who needs hospital treatment.
Anyone who is likely to be affected will be informed at the earliest opportunity, and staff will work with families to support any decisions that need to be made.
