Discharge Lounge

There is a discharge lounge at the Royal Infirmary and Glenfield hospitals. We provide refreshments in the lounge while you are waiting for transport, relatives, or medication to take home. A nurse is available to help with your medical needs and give further advice about leaving hospital.

You can find accessibility information for the discharge lounge here.

If you think you may need support at home, ask a member of the ward staff to arrange for you to speak to a social worker, who will normally be present at ward round meetings.


When you are at home

When you have settled in at home, ensure you focus on making a full recovery. You may want to think about the following:

  • Follow exercise instructions
  • Keep up with medications
  • Stay in touch with GP if required
  • Return appliances like wheelchairs, crutches when no longer needed
