The Discharge Planning Team are professionally qualified members of staff and have specific knowledge of spinal cord injury and discharge planning.
As an integral part of the multidisciplinary team, the team will:
Assist you to achieve a safe and timely discharge from hospital
Identify your care needs, make referrals and carry out assessments to ensure you are provided with the care you need following discharge
Liaise with your local health and social care teams to identify how your needs may be met in the community
Work with you to identify a suitable place for discharge. Whenever possible we will try to discharge you back to your home. However, you may be discharged to a care home, interim placement or back to another agreed destination in your local area.
If you are staying on Osborn 1 and 3 you will be allocated with a team member who will support and facilitate your discharge process throughout your rehabilitation in the Centre.
