Leaving hospital isn't always as simple as it should be.

Maybe you had to wait longer than expected to leave.

Maybe you weren't sure what would happen next.

Maybe you didn't have the equipment, care, information or support you needed.

Or perhaps everything went well.

Whatever your experience, Healthwatch England wants to hear from you.

Have you or someone you care for experienced leaving hospital and felt that the process could have been better?

Join Healthwatch Wandsworth, Ruils Independent Living, St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and other local organisations for an interactive assembly exploring hospital discharge experiences.

πŸ’¬ We want to hear directly from patients and carers about what works well, what could be improved and what support is needed when leaving hospital.

The session will help inform work around the implementation of the NHS England Carers and Hospital Discharge Toolkit and identify opportunities to improve the experience of leaving hospital.

Today, Healthwatch England launches a national survey to understand what happens when people leave hospital.

Were you discharged when you felt ready? Did you receive the right information and support? Were there delays, or did you find that care, equipment or follow-up arrangements weren't in place?

Your experience matters. By sharing what happened, you can help Healthwatch England raise patient and carer experiences with national decision-makers, including the NHS and Government.

The survey is open from 17th August to 9th October 2026.
