- Title
From hospital to home: journey of a child with complex care needs.
- Authors
Samwell, Brian
- Abstract
Increasing numbers of children and young people with complex health conditions are able to be discharged from hospital and supported in the community, but planning and provision of continuing care at home remain problematic. The practical and emotional effects of this difficult transition on the family can be severe. This article explores the process through one case study. Improvements are suggested to make discharge and home care more efficient and more sensitive to family needs. In this task, good working relationships are important.
