Before you are discharged from hospital, it is important that arrangements have been made for you to receive the support you need when you are back at home. This might mean you are referred to your local social services, or to your local community physiotherapy or occupational therapy services.

A community physiotherapist will assist you with any physical problems you might have and an occupational therapist will offer practical support and advice on everyday skills and activities such as using kitchen equipment and getting around your home safely.

If you need a wheelchair or walking aids like a stick or crutches, you might be assessed for these before you leave hospital.
