"Everyone is rightly fighting for their medically optimised patients to be able to go home." Our 4th #BGSTimelyDischarge blog from Katie @Kennerell explains why delayed transfers of care are distressing to patients, families and healthcare professionals.

A rare opportunity for a Band 7 role in our team 😀😀. Open to RNs and AHPs.

UHMB are looking for Community Clinical Therapy Support staff to help support patients to return home using the trusts supported discharge model and continue the patients rehabilitation pathway in the community Find out more here https://t.co/4Fcpe2O8hv #TeamUHMBT #NHSCommunity

Discharge Team BLS ✅ @Resus_UHMBT @RLIComplexDCMT

What does an end to a perfect week approach look like @UHMBT @MorecambeBHCP @HealthierLSC … like one of top performing trusts in the country, that’s what! (We’re the blue one!) Thank you so much to all our teams… onwards into next week now! ☺️🙏🏻

2/2 Big Improvements in ED flow, reduction in "DToC" contrary to prior trend. PTS discharge journeys up sharply with fewer failed discharges. Pt safety and staff welfare No1 priorities. Trend in LLOS sharply down. Highest discharge rate on a Tuesday for 6/52

1/2 LSCTogether Update (wholesystemperfectweek) day3 : earlier bed availability both in day and in week. Occupancy dropped by as much as 3% on some sites and aggregate 1% across system. ED Perf up by 1.2% a day whilst national position is more challenged day by day.

Hospitals are not designed for the heartbreak that takes place within their walls. Let us design hospitals with quiet places, space for reflection, privacy for sorrow, access to safe, green outside spaces, room for tender conversations. @RIBA @JDDKarchitects

Team update re manual handling training and single handed care techniques to update us re what’s available on the community #homefirst #dischargetoassess

The worst of the pandemic is hopefully behind us. But it’s still tough out there for NHS staff and many other key workers. So please keep them all in your thoughts, especially this #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

A sad day today for the team as we said our farewells as our friend and colleague Louise known to us as LouLou was sadly laid to rest just as this rainbow appeared. We will all miss her so much. ❤️ Big thanks to the fab Kate Butterfield who came and manned the office for us.

Today we tested criteria to reside on AFU at RLI with Dr McGowan... it went well considering he didn’t know about it 🙈and it definitely fits with clinical criteria for discharge! Thanks guys for putting up with us on this mornings board round @UHMBT @RLIComplexDCMT

@RLIhospitalhom1 oncall today for HHC and have been extremely impressed by the teams commitment in delivering a high quality service! The work that goes on behind the scenes to make sure the service runs smoothly and how they support one another is AMAZING....so a BIG ⬇️ 😊
