Care Home Liaison Team
The Care Home Liaison team supports interactions between hospital and care homes, including residents of care homes, attending ED or admitted to wards by:
- assisting with communications with the care home
- assisting the resident to return to their care home promptly, when medically fit
- establishing what further support may be provided to assist patients to remain in their care home.
Where a new placement is required, this will be co-ordinated through this team, including follow-up to ensure the patient has successfully settled into the care home.
Contact the Care Home Liaison team with any queries. The Single Point of Access team will forward any query to this team. Email: esth.carehomeliaison@nhs.net
