Abstract
Family carers play an integral role in achieving successful hospital discharge, especially when people would prefer to die at home (Larsson et al. 2018). In the North East of Scotland, there is a lack of information on how prepared family carers were, when their loved ones were discharged rapidly from hospital to home. The aim of this study was to explore these carers' experiences of support for rapid discharge for end-of-life care at home. This presentation was awarded the "Scientific Reviewers' Prize" at the 2022 NHS Grampian Research and Development Conference.
