SOS DOCBy appointment
Ask the hospital team for the expected discharge date and the written instructions for the first days at home. Then list what your family can arrange and where you need help. A ride home, a nursing visit and a physiotherapy session are separate arrangements, and each can have different timing and availability.
SOS DOC helps coordinate the practical arrangements for the return home. The hospital team sets the discharge instructions, and the professional responsible for each clinical visit assesses and provides that care. Tell us if the timing is provisional so everyone knows what still needs to be confirmed.
Step 1
Ask the hospital for the expected departure time, pickup point and written instructions for the first days at home.
Step 2
Give the exact address, access details and the name of the person who will be there to receive the patient.
Step 3
Confirm transport and any requested nursing or physiotherapy visits separately. If departure changes, ask the coordination team to check the timings again.
Share the hospital pickup point, the address where the person will stay after discharge and the contact who will meet them there. If transport is needed, describe the entrance and any stairs or lift access when requesting a quote. Confirm the destination even if it is a relative’s home rather than the patient’s usual address.
Check the expected departure time, pickup point and discharge instructions with the hospital team. Confirm who will meet the patient at home, how they will enter, and which transport or home visits have been arranged.
