This festive season, we want to help as many of our inpatients as possible to get home, so they don’t have to spend Christmas in hospital. That’s why we’ve launched ‘Operation Sleigh Bells’.

Over the coming days, our inpatient teams will be assessing patients’ health and doing everything they can to get them home in time for Christmas.

We will be working with families and carers to ensure that patients who can go home, are able to do so safely and with the right support in place, such as transport or additional equipment.

Flyers are available for patients and relatives with more details about the campaign. Please speak to a member of staff to find out what you can do to help get your loved one home this Christmas, if safe to do so.

If you have any concerns about yourself or a loved one returning home for Christmas, please let the staff on the ward know.
