Opportunity overview

NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (GICB) has undertaken a competitive procurement process to commission an Out of Hospital Service in Gloucestershire. This service offers short term practical solutions to facilitate a return home from hospital. As well as supporting individuals to adjust and regain confidence as they recover. The service will also offer longer term support through relevant community networks and resources of the provider or by contact with VCS groups and networks. The service will act as single point of access and triage for assisted discharge support for discharge. It will ensure Service users are settled in safely at home after a spell in hospital and support service users to become independent at home again. The service should contribute to the reduction of hospital re-admissions.
