New Discharge Lounge

We secured £2millon from NHS England to help free up hospital beds by creating a new, larger discharge lounge facility for patients that are waiting for their medication or transport once they are medically fit to leave hospital.

We installed a single-storey modular building that was pre-made using modern methods of construction and assembled on site

The new building provides a much larger space for patients to stay while they wait to be discharged, freeing up beds in the meantime for patients that need to be admitted. The Trust has also used its own funds to add additional space for other hospital services. It includes a discharge lounge for 15 patients, 12 beds and four side rooms. It is situated in the North Wing Entrance 2 Car Park, next to Bridport Road.
