Full job description

This post is designed to support the Multi- Disciplinary Team by coordinating patient’s assessment in readiness for discharge.

The purpose is that the post will provide one point of contact for all disciplines supporting the patient through the inpatient journey; ensuring consistent real time information is given to those involved including that of the MDT and families.

The ward team remain accountable and responsible for planning the patient discharge, and the post holder’s key responsibility is to ensure that information is passed from one discipline to another to ensure concurrent assessments, which in turn mean achievement of discharge on the day it is planned and an earlier time of discharge leading to an improved patient experience.
