Blackpool Council has been working with Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Around 100 people a week are getting help to be safely discharged from hospital thanks to services provided by Blackpool Council working with Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
“This team is proving effective in managing the journey from the acute and peripheral hospitals, and support on average 100 people a week to determine the best place of discharge and then source and arrange this.“Ward staff still discharge more physically able patients directly; but due to concerns about how some of these people manage post discharge. We have incorporated a support work role into this team to follow up on people sent home via this route.
The council is working closely with Blackpool Teaching Hospitals as part of moves to free up hospital beds and reduce waiting times for treatment. The ARC on Clifton Avenue, Marton, which has 33 beds, has been used for several years to provide care for patients who are ready to leave hospital but need further recuperation.
