Discharge Lounge

The Discharge Lounge is a designated area, less hectic than the wards, where patients are prepared to go home.

​

This preparation involves speaking to the pharmacists about any medications the patient is taking with them and to chat to nursing staff about any on-going care and treatment (such as referral to a district nurse or community therapist).

Staff will also discuss follow up appointments, rehabilitation and support services that can help with problems they may have after leaving hospital.

The Discharge Lounge is based on Elizabeth Ward close to the visitors' entrance.
