Let’s help get you home

‘Let’s help get you home’ as soon as your medically fit is the latest campaign to help educate all patients across the Mid Yorkshire footprint.

Created in partnership with Wakefield Council, Carers Wakefield and Age UK. The new discharge campaign shares the journey from assessment in accident and emergency to supported offered by third sector organisations.

The Trust is informing patients and families about who they will see, and what will happen at each stage of a hospital journey, once medically fit.

Lyndsey Scaife, Head of Discharge at Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust said:

We want patients to be involved in their discharge journey, so they feel well informed at each stage.

As a Trust, we feel it is important to reassure patients and about who we are, what we do and how we can help on the road to recovery.

By knowing this information, it may help to reduce anxiety following a potential long stay in hospital.
