Summary
As a member of the integrated Capacity and Discharge Team, you will work in partnership with social services, external stakeholders, patients, and carers to proactively support safe and timely discharge from hospital to home or onward care settings. You will act as the single point of contact on a named ward, coordinating and contributing to discharge planning alongside multidisciplinary colleagues. The role requires maintaining momentum throughout the discharge process by liaising closely with doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and Hospital Assessment and Discharge Team members, constructively challenging decisions when necessary to ensure effective planning. You will screen all patients on admission to identify those requiring further social care assessment, completing referral documentation and updating relevant IT systems to activate referrals or re-referrals as appropriate.
