Hospital care isn’t just about what medical treatment you receive within their four walls; hospital staff have a duty of care to ensure you get home safely and make sure you have a care plan organised in the form of nurse visits or support from friends of family to ensure you are safe and to help you recuperate. This is particularly important when dealing with vulnerable individuals like the elderly who need to be closely monitored. A NHS Hospital is now being investigated after claims an 83-year-old woman was taken home and left alone without any community nurses to check on her safety and wellbeing or contacting family.
