The Pathway team aims to improve health
outcomes by:
Supporting patients to stay in hospital
for the duration of their treatment. (For
example, the team provides “dignity
packs” with clothing and toiletries,
changes of clothes, as well as magazines,
books or tv cards. These help to
support a digni昀椀ed, bearable hospital
stay, ensuring patients receive all their
necessary treatment, and engage with
our team in order to recover fully.)
Managing the time and manner of
discharge, to ensure this is completed
as safely as possible.
Chairing MDT’s for more complex
patients so as to ensure the right
treatment and discharge plans are
being made.
Liaising with housing services to ensure
no one is discharged onto the streets.
Registering patients with a GP if needed.
Making referrals to services such as Adult
Social Care, Integrated Nursing Team,
Justlife and local substance misuse
services to ensure ongoing support when
returning to the community.
Providing formal training and shadowing
opportunities to clinical sta昀昀 and
trainees which supports hospital sta昀昀 to
gain an understanding of the challenges
facing people without a secure home,
and how to best provide tailored,
e昀昀ective care.
