Help leaving hospital

If you know that you will have to go into hospital for an operation or specific medical treatment, you may be worried that you will not feel well enough to look after yourself when you go home. In these circumstances you, your family or friends can contact the appropriate social work team to discuss your concerns and if necessary ask for an assessment of your needs.

Social work teams from Adults Social Services are based in local hospitals including Barnet Hospital, the Royal Free Hospital, Finchley Memorial Hospital and Edgware Community Hospital.  Following discharge from hospital, the Hospital Social Work Team can help you to assess whether you will need help and support. They will arrange for appropriate services to be provided on a temporary or permanent basis.

To find out more, ask the ward staff for the hospital social worker while you are in hospital.
