When You Leave

Going Home

We recommend that before admission you consider how you will manage at home after discharge. Will you require someone to stay with you after being discharged? How will you prepare food, do the housekeeping and shopping? Will you need any special aids?

If you attend the Pre Admission Clinic, discuss any concerns with the nurse, otherwise speak to your nurse on admission.

Your doctor will tell you when he or she thinks you are well enough to go home. Our nurse will talk to you about any special services or equipment you may need after you are discharged.

Discharge time is at 9.00 am. It is recommended that you arrange a relative or friend to assist you in getting home, or alternatively a taxi will be called for you by Reception staff.
