Over the same period the Authority collaborated with a national voluntary organisation for a six month pilot to support patients in ED, care of the elderly wards and the discharge lounge. The main aims of the pilot being to support discharge home, prevent readmissions and offer an improved patient experience whilst in hospital in order to prevent some deconditioning caused by lack of stimulation. The aim of the Authority is to continue working with voluntary services with an enhanced focus in key areas (supporting transport, admission avoidance and discharge) and to provide support to patients in hospital via seven work streams.
