Hospital Discharge Care in Woodford
Out of King George Hospital. Settled at home. In 48 hours.
The first 48 hours back home from King George Hospital are critical. Falls, medication errors, missed signs of infection — all spike in this window. Oath Healthcare’s Woodford discharge service is designed to bridge that gap, often in partnership with the community matron and district nurse team.

Common questions from Woodford families
Do you handle stair-lifts, hospital beds, commodes?
We work with the London Borough of Redbridge OT team and partner equipment suppliers to get kit installed quickly. Often we order before the discharge happens.
How fast can you really start?
From a phone call by 10am, we can usually have a coordinator at the bedside or home by lunchtime, with care starting that evening or next morning. For fast-track palliative discharges, even faster.
What if needs change in the first week?
We expect them to. The first care plan is a working document — we review at days 3, 7, and 14 and adjust upwards or downwards based on how recovery is going.
Will you talk to the King George Hospital discharge team?
Yes — that’s the start of every discharge package. We get the discharge summary, medication list, and any specialist instructions before the first care visit.
