Going home
Staff will give you a likely collection time if you are being picked up. If you are not able to make your own arrangements and are not fit enough to travel home alone, please talk to the ward staff at least 48 hours before going home.
Don’t forget
- Leave a forwarding address for your post
- Ask for any medical certificates you may need
- Return hospital library books
- Ask for any cash or valuables you may have handed in
- Collect your hospital discharge letter for your GP
- Return any equipment such as crutches (if necessary at your outpatient appointment)
- Collect your medicine
Medicines
If you are prescribed any tablets or medicine, we will give you an initial supply. If it is necessary to continue treatment, you will be advised to visit your GP who will be sent a copy of your prescription.
You will also be given a copy of your prescription before you leave.
If you have any questions or concerns about your medicines, please contact the pharmacy helpline on 020 8746 8366.
Outpatient appointments
If you need an outpatient appointment, one will be made for you before you leave the hospital.
