Dear provider
Many of you may have seen or even experienced our health system is extremely busy this week, as we approach the Easter period demand is expected to remain high. All of our teams are working hard to support people who are being discharged from hospital.
Each of you are key to health and care delivery in Devon and during this difficult period, so please carry on accepting new packages of care or care home placements, and supporting your clients to return home. We know many of you will already being doing this but given the extreme pressure the local system any increased capacity or focussed effort to bring people home would support vulnerable people in our communities and enable people to access emergency care over the festive period.
If we can help to support your service to continue to accept hospital discharges then please let us know by contacting your Arranging Support Teams or Hospital discharge teams directly to advise them of any spare capacity, and alert them to any support you need to achieve this.
