The RUH aims to provide the best experience, for you and your family, when planning your discharge from our hospital and then when leaving hospital.
The planning for your discharge starts as soon as you come into hospital; with the aim of getting you back to the place you live as quickly as it is safe to do so. This is better for you and will aid your recovery.
This questionnaire asks you about your recent discharge from the RUH. Please take a few minutes to answer the questions. Your answers are anonymous and cannot be linked to you, but they will help us to improve patients’ experiences of discharge.
Family and carers can complete the questionnaire on your behalf.
