Going Home

The decision to discharge you from hospital will be made by your consultant who will discuss with you when they feel you are well enough to go home.

However, before you leave the suite there are some things you will need to do:-

• Make sure you take home any medication that has been prescribed for you or any that you may have brought in yourself.
• Ask when will you need to see your consultant again, either ask the consultant, matron or a member of nursing staff.
• If required, the Paragon Suite will make arrangements for a district nurse to visit you at home.
• If you require a sick certificate for work then please ask a member of the nursing staff.
• If you have handed any valuables in for safe keeping, ask a member of the nursing staff to return them to you.
• On the day of discharge you will need to vacate your room by 11am or you may incur charges.
• Please check your policy regarding take-home drugs as you may be invoiced for any drugs on discharge.

The aim of the Paragon Suite is to constantly update and improve the service we provide to all our patients. Therefore after your discharge we will send you a patient satisfaction questionnaire with a pre-paid envelope and we would ask that you complete this to enable us to keep our standards the very highest, and also to constanty improve our services.
