care packages

What is a care package and who would it be important to?

i take it u dont have care packages. when a patient goes home, its a package of care they have. for example 2 carers coming to see them in the morning, then two in the night.

so its important to the patient

Where about's do you live?

south wales, uk. u?

Yup, us USians think you're talking about a package of goodies you send to your kids when they go away to school/camp/war, which is undeniably important, but a rather odd nursing question :)

OK for those wondering.

In the UK if someone is being discharged from hospital but still needs some input like District nurse, social worker, OT, Physiotherapist, Macmillian nurses (hospice) etc a package of care (care package) is hopefully done before the discharge and everything sorted.
