Intermediate Care Team

The Intermediate Care Team is part of our responsive services who provide short-term nursing and therapy intervention during an episode of ill health, to prevent acute hospital admission when you can safely be supported at home or to support hospital discharge.

What does the service provide?

Short-term nursing and therapy care in your own home during an episode of ill health, to prevent acute hospital admission when you can safely be supported at home or to support hospital discharge. A qualified nurse or therapist will undertake a full assessment with you and agree a care plan or rehabilitation programme to maximise your independence. 

If you require long-term support we work closely with other multidisciplinary health and social teams to ensure your care is co-ordinated and continuous.

Our team

A skilled team of nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and rehabilitation assistants will provide short-term health and rehabilitation support in your own home.

How to refer

You can be referred into the service from an acute hospital via your doctor (GP) or another health or social care professional.
