A stay in hospital should not be longer than medically necessary. To support a good hospital discharge experience, NHS South Yorkshire has been working collaboratively with partners across Sheffield to help ensure people feel supported and prepared following a stay in hospital, have the right information and feel empowered about their choices.
This NHS Health and Social Care Directory reinforces key system messages and provides details on a wide range of support and wellbeing services available in Sheffield. We hope the guide will provide some support to our more vulnerable patients, their relatives and family carers following a stay in hospital, or as they transition through other community settings and services.
