Your experiences of Hospital Discharge
04/10/2024
In September 2024, Healthwatch sought experiences of hospital discharge, the process of supporting people to leave hospital effectively after treatment.
The hospital discharge process should ensure:
- patients and the people most important to them are engaged in the process
- transfer out of hospital is safe, appropriate, and timely
- communication is clear on next steps and how to access support

Healthwatch research shows mixed experiences of hospital discharge experiences during the pandemic
Between February and April 2021 Healthwatch ran a short web-based survey to understand how the hospital discharge process was functioning during the third national ‘COVID-19’ lockdown.
We focused our questions on capturing feedback living in East Sussex on four themes:
- Positive aspects of the experience and those people felt could be improved?
- Whether people received all the information and support they needed?
- If people had any outstanding concerns?
- Anything people still needed help or support with
