| Summary: | Aims: Patients in acute psychiatric wards often require physical health assessments at associated medical hospitals. At Quinton Ward, Caludon Centre, we frequently transfer patients to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) for physical health concerns.

This audit aimed to assess whether discharge plans were documented and identify areas for improvement. |
