Derby Council attempts to alleviate winter pressures on NHS
Derby City Council approveds plans to create additional bed spaces in a number of its care homes, in order to relieve winter pressures on the NHS.
The council is to construct a hospital discharge unit at Arboretum House, offering 10 extra beds to be used for patients who need additional care, but do not need to be in hospital.
As well as this, Perth House (PH) will be enhanced to make all 36 of their beds available for hospital discharges.
This provides beds for vulnerable people and will free up precious beds within the NHS.
An assessment hub will also be established in PH, managing all beds as an integrated service with Home First throughout. Thanks to this joint up approach, PH can admit people with higher needs (such as dementia, delirium or mental health issues).
