Our teams work in a fast-paced multi-disciplinary environment, working closely with our colleagues in Health, Social Care, providers, and the voluntary sector to ensure a safe, timely and sustainable discharge plan. We focus on supporting the recovery and rehabilitation of individuals, identifying long term needs, safeguarding and maximising independence. We work across a range of sites including acute hospitals and community hospitals to plan onward care for people in their own homes as well as short term and longer term care services.
We have teams based at five major hospitals in Hampshire: Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, University Hospital Southampton, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital and Frimley Park Hospital based on the Hampshire/ Surrey border. Each team has a Social Work Discharge Team.
