Getting ready to come in
You will know you are visiting hospital because we will send you a letter with details of your appointment – unless you have to go to A&E in an emergency.
Who does what?
When you arrive at the hospital you should make your way to the ward or department mentioned on your letter.
Getting ready to go home
When the doctor or nurses think you are well enough, you will be told that you can go home. This is known as being discharged.
