About this Event
An interactive NHS-themed escape room where teams race against the clock to safely discharge a patient by solving real-world healthcare puzzles and learning about vital hospital roles. NOW FULLY BOOKED
Operation: Patient Discharge – From Ward to Home is an exciting, hands-on escape room-style experience designed to engage participants in the real-world journey of safely discharging a patient from hospital. Set within a realistic hospital environment, this interactive activity challenges teams to complete a series of health-themed puzzles, each representing a different NHS staff role, to help prepare a patient (mannequin) for discharge—all within 60 minutes.
Upon arrival, participants are welcomed by a friendly NHS nurse who introduces the mission: a patient is ready to go home, but final checks must be completed, and the discharge paperwork remains locked. To unlock the discharge form and complete the task, teams must work together to solve six puzzle stations—each representing an NHS professional and the unique part they play in patient care.
This experience promotes learning about NHS careers, builds awareness of the different professionals involved in patient discharge, and highlights the importance of communication and collaboration in healthcare. Ideal for schools, healthcare open days, staff engagement events, and outreach programmes, Operation: Patient Discharge is fun, educational, and designed to leave participants with a deeper appreciation of the NHS and how every role matters in patient care.
No prior medical knowledge is needed—just curiosity, teamwork, and a willingness to take on the challenge. Can your team get the patient safely home before the time runs out?
