The purpose of this pack is to provide a training tool on the key elements of involving Carers in the process of hospital discharge. The materials can be used flexibly to meet the differing learning needs of both professionals and Carers involved in the hospital discharge process. They should be used in conjunction with the Department of Health guidance, "Discharge from hospital: pathway, process and practice." Below you will find a tool kit to enable staff to meet the guidance. The training pack has been jointly developed by Surrey County Council, Action For Carers (Surrey) and an independent trainer Debbie Grimwood. To find out more about this and other courses for Carers e mail Debbie.
