Short description:

A focused WardWise Quick Tool for patients, families and carers who need to check whether a hospital discharge plan is clear enough before leaving hospital or immediately after getting home.

Full description:

Leaving hospital can feel like the end of the problem, but discharge is often the moment when responsibility, medicines, warning signs and follow-up move from the ward into the hands of the patient, family, carers, GP, community team or home setting.

This Quick Tool helps you slow that moment down.

It gives you one structured place to record the current plan, medicine changes, follow-up, warning signs, home support needs and unresolved questions.

It is designed for the real-world moment when someone says discharge is happening, but you are not sure whether everyone understands what needs to happen next.

This Quick Tool helps you:

- check whether the discharge plan is clear

- record medicines that have started, stopped or changed

- clarify follow-up appointments, tests or reviews

- ask what warning signs should trigger help

- check support, equipment, transport and home needs

- prepare the most important questions before leaving

- keep a simple record for family or carers
