#SolvingTogether
#SolvingTogether is now focusing on how people can be supported to leave hospital earlier in the day with the Heading #Home4Noon challenges! The question that we are hoping you can help with is: ‘What should always happen to ensure people go home from hospital earlier in the day and be heading #Home4Noon?’ 💬
Click here to get involved in the People challenge and the Organisations challenge!
#SolvingTogether is part of the 100 Day Discharge Challenge, which aims to support trusts and systems to adopt ten best practice initiatives to improve hospital discharge. NHS and social care staff can access a range of resources to help them implement the initiatives in their own organisation on a new dedicated challenge website. Join in on social media by sharing the 100 Day Discharge social media content from @NHSTransform, and using the hashtags #ImprovingDischarge and heading #Home4Noon.
