title: The needs of neurology patients after discharge.
abstract: Patients discharged from neurosciences units and their carers often express a range of needs. Patients' needs relate to the illness and its physical effects. Carers experience mainly psychosocial effects. Needs can be met through planning and co-operation between the statutory and voluntary sectors and the use of liaison nurses.
