Hospital discharge arrangements
DNH advice workers and volunteers are hearing
worrying accounts of inadequate preparation for
disabled and ill people returning home from hospital.
We can help you to discuss your concerns with the
hospital and to make a formal complaint if you choose.
You can also contact the Patient Advice and Liaison
Service (PALS ) at West Middlesex Hospital.
How to contact PALS Visit PALS in the atrium of the main hospital, adjacent to the reception
desk.
Call on 020 8321 6261 Monday to Friday 10 - 11am and 2-3pm, or leave a
message on voicemail, and they will get back to you as soon as possible.

Pressure Ulcer Care: consultation with patients and carers
(date and venue to be confirmed).
Recently the Community Education Provider Network (CEPN) for North
West London was granted funding to develop educational materials which
clarify the processes involved in preventing and managing pressure ulcers.
The CEPN very much want to involve carers and people who need care
and support in developing these materials. They are holding a focus group
to look at how people currently access information and to establish any
overlap or gaps in service that might be increasing people’s risk of
developing a pressure ulcer. This is a real opportunity to influence care. If
anyone would like to be involved or ask more about this project please
contact Lynne Hudgell, the project lead. Her contact details are:
