James Womersley, Head of Patient Flow and Care Navigation at Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust was delighted with this recognition, “It is great that the Care Transfer Hub has been acknowledged for the fantastic work it does every single day. Huge thanks to all the staff involved in this partnership – they work so hard to support patients to access the right care in the right place at the right time.”
The Care Transfer Hub plays a vital role in supporting patients with complex health, care, and housing needs, ensuring they can access the necessary services within the community.
This improved coordination between teams has led to a more streamlined and integrated approach across the health and social care system, resulting in better outcomes for patients.
