Many hospitals now have discharge lounges to help your final day in hospital go smoothly. Patients who don't need to stay on the ward are transferred to the lounge on the day of discharge. Staff will inform the pharmacy, transport and relatives of your transfer. To help pass the time, there are usually facilities such as a TV, radio, magazines, puzzles, books and newspapers. If someone feels unwell while waiting, nurses contact a doctor to come and see you before discharge.
