Discharge
Discharge can be a time of mixed emotions where parents are pleased to be taking their child home yet apprehensive about the care they may need in the early days of recovery.A decision to send a child home is one that is not made lightly. Staff will only send children home when they are certain that the family will be able to cope with their recovery and that their condition is stable.
Prior to discharge, the staff will ensure that you are equipped to handle the ongoing care of your child. This may involve changing dressings or administering medication, as well as attending follow up appointments either through your General Practitioner or our Outpatients Department.
We ask that on the day of discharge your child is prepared and ready to go by 10.00am.
