🏡 Going Home from Hospital: What You Need to Know

Research shows that once you’ve had the care you need in hospital, going home can help you recover faster.

If extra support is needed, we’ll arrange help at home or nearby to keep you on track.

To get ready for going home, don’t hesitate to ask your healthcare team these important questions:
• What is wrong with me?
• What will happen next?
• What can I do to help myself get better?
• When am I likely to go home?

By working with your doctors and nurses, you can help speed up your recovery and feel more confident about leaving hospital.

Is your child ready for school? 💭

As you tick off the uniform, shoes, and book bag, don’t forget their Pre-School Vaccinations!

These vaccines help protect your child against serious illnesses as they start their school journey.

Book in with a nurse to make sure your child is fully protected before they begin reception. ✅
