Quality & Care Home Liaison Team

The Quality & 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.
