Discharge Lounge
The Discharge Lounge aims to provide a pleasant and relaxing environment for patients to wait in on the day of their discharge, away from the ward area. Here you can wait for their medication to be dispensed by pharmacy and wait to be collected by family, friends or hospital transport.
It is based in the Portesham Unit – the modular building in front of North Wing Entrance 2.
On the day of your discharge, a healthcare assistant will come to collect you from the ward and bring you to the Discharge Lounge. There is comfortable seating, TVs, radios available while you wait and refreshments will be offered regularly.
The staff in the Discharge Lounge can contact your relatives to let them know you have been moved from the ward. There is a 20-minute pick up point just outside the building so relatives can pick up with ease.
