Carers and Hospital Discharge
Our Hospital Carers' Leads are dedicated to supporting carers when the person they care for is in hospital, and throughout the discharge process.
Who can use this service?
This service currently operates at St Thomas' Hospital and King's College Hospital. It is designed for unpaid carers who live or provide care in the Borough of Lambeth or Southwark.
We offer support to unpaid carers, whilst the person they care for is in hospital and following their discharge from hospital. We are here to help carers navigate what can often be a difficult and stressful time, to ensure they are connected to essential information and support for their caring role.
How can we help?
Our Hospital Carers' Leads can support you in a number of ways:
-
Be a listening ear.
-
Help you think through what help may need when your cared for person leaves hospital.
-
Come with you to discharge planning meetings.
-
Providing relevant information for carers and signposting to support.
