Can the homeless team support your patients?

April 22, 2021

Does your patient require a food hamper or clothing on discharge? The homeless team can offer support with discharges where delays may occur due to the patient not having appropriate clothing or sufficient food due to isolation. The team will be supporting wards with additional discharges for the vulnerable and elderly that may not necessarily be homeless.

They can assist with discharges for the vulnerable or elderly patients that may live alone and are unable to get out shopping due to the current pandemic or due to having to self-isolate. These patients do not need to be homeless or have social housing issues to be referred to the homeless team.

Please refer any patients that you feel would benefit from the service and the team will assist in coordinating a safe discharge and attempt to for fill their requirements.

Referrals can be made to any member of the team by using the contact details listed below:
