Going home

  • But we just got here!

    Yes, we understand that it might seem a little strange that discharge planning starts as soon as your child is admitted but to make sure that every child can go home as soon as they are medically ready, we need to work together from the moment you arrive.

    The COCOON page has a section called Moving on from Butterfly. You’ll find lots of helpful information and a checklist to work through with your baby’s care team to prepare you to go to another ward within The Royal Children's Hospital, another hospital, or home.
