This FREE service offers practical support for you when you come home from hospital. The service is tailored to your specific needs, and can include help with things like:

- Ordering and collecting your medication
- Information, support, advice and signposting to other services that can help you in the future once you have recovered
Our experienced and friendly staff will work with you for a number of weeks after you have been discharged from hospital, depending on your needs. They will check on you regularly to see how you are getting on, and provide you with support you as you recover.
Do you live in Wokingham, Bracknell or Reading? Are you having hospital treatment soon? Would you like some friendly, supportive, FREE help during your recovery?
