Discharge Toolkit - supporting those with a learning disability when leaving hospital
The Discharge Toolkit developed by Change with the support of the NHS, is a resource to help patients in specialist learning disability or mental health hospital services plan for leaving hospital.
The Toolkit includes but is not limited to:
- When will I be discharged
- Where will I live
- Getting help from an advocate
- Who will support me
- My rights
- What if things don't go to plan
The accompanying discharge planner is useful for recording relevant information and helping to keep track of meetings and who is responsible for different elements of the plan.
