Just a reminder that our hospital discharge survey closes tomorrow.

If you or someone you support has been in hospital in the last 12 months and experienced a difficult discharge, we'd like to hear from you. We'd particularly like to hear from men who have experienced the following:
• You were ready to leave but your discharge was delayed.
• You didn’t feel well enough to be discharged.
• You were sent home before all the care and support you needed was in place.

Please complete the online survey before Friday 9 October: www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/NorthTyneside

If you have any questions or need help to complete the survey please contact us on 0191 263 5321 or email [email protected]
