Description

NHS Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) seeks expressions of interest from suitably qualified organisations that have the necessary capability and capacity to provide an Out of Hospital Service which offers short term practical solutions to facilitate a return home from hospital.

 Enable safe and timely discharge for individuals who are medically stable and fit for discharge in:
o Emergency Department;
o Inpatient Departments.

The service should offer short term support for recovery from ill health or hospital admission, with longer term support using the organisation's experience and knowledge of community networks and support.
