Ward B3 - Halton

Last updated: Wednesday 18 September 2024

General introduction

Ward B3 at Halton Hospital Nightingale Building is a 'ready for discharge' ward.

The ward team provides care for patients who have been assessed as medically ready for discharge home or to another place of care. Patients may be moved to the ward while waiting for community services support to be put in place, such as a place at a care at home, nursing or residential home, or for equipment to be provided to support their recover and rehabilitation.

While you are being cared for on Ward B3, the team will continue planning for your discharge from hospital and will make any changes to discharge plans, where required.
