When a friend or relative is ready to leave hospital, home is often the best place for them to rest, recover and regain independence.

Getting them home at the right time supports their recovery and helps keep hospital care flowing, as even short delays in discharge can add pressure to busy hospital wards.

If possible, make plans early in the day, with the aim of getting home by lunchtime. To help with this, you might be entitled to a one-off personal health budget to pay for extra support or equipment needed when you at home? Ask a member of staff on the ward to find out more about this.

Every hour matters. Avoidable delays in discharge - even just a few hours - add significant pressure to our hospitals. When your relative is medically fit, bringing them home before lunch helps their wellbeing and allows us to care for others waiting for a bed.

Please make arrangements early in the day so we can keep care flowing for everyone who needs it.

Cornwall's hospitals are under significant pressure today, and you can help by choosing the right NHS service for your needs. Here's some information from Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust on where is best if you need help.

Our hospitals are under significant pressure today, and you can help by choosing the right NHS service for your needs. If you’re feeling unwell or need advice, start with NHS 111 online or by phone. They can guide you to the most appropriate care, whether that’s a pharmacy, a minor injury unit, or an urgent treatment centre. Pharmacies are a great option for minor illnesses and can help you avoid unnecessary trips to hospital. Please keep 999 for life-threatening emergencies only, such as someone who is unconscious, not breathing, or bleeding heavily. Every time you choose the right service, you help us keep emergency care available for those who need it most.
