Discharge Unit (DU) at Royal Derby Hospital
Facilities
During your stay you will be allocated a chair or bed, depending on your needs and availability within the DU. We have several areas including two large seating areas (called ‘Team 1’ and ‘Team 2’).
We will endeavour to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We can offer you food, snacks, and hot and cold drinks. If you have any allergies, please let us know.
How long will I stay on the DU?
This depends on your needs following your discharge from hospital. You may be asked to wait for a new supply of medications, or extra help or support if it is being arranged for you at home. Staff will be able to update you about what you are waiting for and how long this is likely to take.
When is visiting time?
We support limited but flexible visiting. Please check with your nurse if you would like a visitor to wait with you.
Arranging your transport home
Please arrange your own transport home where possible. We can provide a free parking pass to the person collecting you - please ask for one if needed. We can also assist with taxi bookings.
If you are eligible for hospital transport, please be aware the average time from booking is four hours.
