Hospital discharge is a common topic in the feedback Healthwatch receives. Our data shows that some people struggle when they are discharged without enough support, which can slow their recovery and increase the risk of being readmitted. Healthwatch Kirklees and Healthwatch Calderdale wanted to learn about people’s experiences with the different hospital discharge pathways.

In this report you’ll find:

• A summary of our findings
• Our recommendations
• Our findings and experiences on planning for discharge, care received in intermediate care setting, support at home from reablement services, carer’s experience, health inequalities, and Age UK’s Home from Hospital Service (in partnership with Community Transport)
