Share Your Experiences of Hospital Discharge
Healthwatch routinely carries out short surveys to gather the views of people about health and social care services. This month 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.
Our survey will only take a few minutes to complete and your personal data is protected and treated securely. The survey closes at midnight on Monday 30th September 2024.
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 on the NHS website.
Healthwatch in Sussex, as the local independent champion for health and care, would like to hear about your most recent experience of hospital discharge to see how the process is working and how it could be improved.
Tell us:
- How involved were you in the hospital discharge process?
- Did the hospital discharge process meet your needs?
- What would you improve?
If you would like assistance or require a different format, please contact Healthwatch East Sussex via: enquiries@healthwatcheastsussex.co.uk or call 0333 101 4007
Thank you for taking part!
