Hospital Discharge Team

The City and Hackney Centre for Mental Health have a dedicated Hospital Discharge Team of social workers, occupational therapists and a carer support worker who ensure that service users feel supported.

The Hospital Discharge Team is here to support you every step of the way. Made up of dedicated professionals from both the wards and the community, our goal is to ensure your discharge is smooth and stress-free. We work to make sure that every service user who needs support after leaving the hospital has access to the right care tailored to their needs.

We're also delighted to welcome new team members—a carer support worker and three care coordinators—who are joining our community teams. Their addition means that service users, along with their families, friends, and carers, will receive even more support and guidance during the transition from hospital to home.

We’re here for you!

Discharge Plan

We understand how important it is for you and your loved one to feel confident and informed about what happens when they leave the hospital. That’s why our hospital staff work closely with the Discharge Team to ensure a clear and supportive Hospital Discharge Plan is in place for a smooth transition home.

As a carer, you may be eligible for a Carer’s Assessment, and the person you care for might also need an assessment to determine the right support for them. We’re here to make sure you both have everything you need.

If you haven’t received this support yet or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Discharge Team—we’re always happy to help!
