    Healthwatch Telford and Wrekin have heard from different care homes of times when discharges to them from hospital have been unsafe in their opinions. Likewise, we have heard from people who have mixed experiences of discharge. This is becoming more prevalent. We aim to work with care homes to explore this is in more detail with a survey and focus groups for care homes representative to jointly identify areas of stress within the system that leads to unsafe discharges and the impact of these. We will also promote this to the public to seek individual experiences of unsafe discharge and seek any similarities between the two to combine into one report with recommendations for improvement.
