Discharge and Fast Track

If home is the preferred place on death for the patient and their loved ones, Sherwood Forest Hospitals will try to support the discharge.

A rapid discharge process can be utilised, this can be dependant on what is needed at home. If the patient has any strong wishes, please let the ward know as soon as possible.

Staff will do everything they can to ensure a rapid discharge whilst still balancing patient safety.
