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.
