Notice Information

Notice Title

ADVOCACY SERVICE: SUPPORT FOR ELDER CARE

Notice Description

This winter (2018/2019) the Authority's Emergency Department (ED) saw demand increase by 9.4% over the same time last year (22.3 extra patients per day) with an increase of over 75 year olds attending (6.3% - 48 patients per day). Over the same period the Authority collaborated with a national voluntary organisation for a six month pilot to support patients in ED, care of the elderly wards and the discharge lounge. The main aims of the pilot being to support discharge home, prevent readmissions and offer an improved patient experience whilst in hospital in order to prevent some deconditioning caused by lack of stimulation. The aim of the Authority is to continue working with voluntary services with an enhanced focus in key areas (supporting transport, admission avoidance and discharge) and to provide support to patients in hospital via seven work streams. If you feel that you could provide this service, please contact alison.mckenzie@kgh.nhs.uk (a) confirming this and (b) provide a brief description of your service offering, no greater than 1,500 words by 27/09/2019 by 13:00 hours.
