Discharge and follow up

Following your discharge home, an electronic discharge summary will be sent to  your GP giving details of investigations and treatment on the unit, with details of medication changes, medications on discharge and any recommendations for follow up and referrals.

There are regular AMU follow up clinics (Hot Clinics) done by acute medicine registrars to follow up if you need a further urgent review after discharge. Any outstanding/outpatient investigations can be reviewed in a Virtual Clinic  (without the need for you to attend physically) and any further action, if needed, will be communicated to your GP as necessary.
