Our new Discharge to Assess (D2A) Service has been designed to help people leave hospital as soon as they are medically ready, enabling assessment, recovery and rehabilitation to take place where outcomes are often best achieved at home.
Bringing together Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Social Workers, Discharge Coordinators and Care Providers, the service will deliver timely, person-centred interventions that maximise independence, reduce unnecessary hospital stays and support individuals to achieve what matters most to them. Working across health, social care and community settings, the team will create seamless pathways that place the individual at the centre of every decision, helping people regain confidence, rebuild routines and return to everyday life.
As a developing service, D2A offers a rare opportunity to help shape a new model of care from the ground up. Alongside delivering outstanding patient outcomes, team members will contribute to service development, strengthen partnerships across the island and influence how community rehabilitation is delivered for years to come.
Our current opportunities are:
