The Home First Service has established itself as instrumental in supporting the discharge pathways and is an exciting opportunity for staff to influence discharge and admission practices across our acute sites and improve the hospital experience for our citizens.-

The Social Worker will be key in working with individuals, families/carers, and key stakeholders in assisting, coordinating, and making appropriate arrangements to support discharge from hospital.
