NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB)’s unpaid carers programme has produced this carers hospital discharge toolkit to support NHS trusts to carry out their statutory duty to involve unpaid carers in discharge pathways and to improve unpaid carers’ experiences of discharge through increased identification, support, signposting, and referral.

The toolkit is intended for all areas of discharge including acute hospitals, mental health hospitals, and virtual wards. 

It has been coproduced with NHS colleagues, voluntary sector carer organisations and people with lived experience, including those from ethnically diverse backgrounds and young carers.

You can access the toolkit and additional information on the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership website.
