We work alongside patients, carers and staff throughout the hospital journey to ensure the patient receives a high standard of care that promotes dignity and inclusion. This includes visiting patients on the ward to establish what support or guidance we can provide to the patient, family, carers and hospital staff as well as enabling reasonable adjustments to be made that allow the patient to receive care in a timely manner.
We can:
- Support treatment planning during pre admission assessments.
- Ensure all patients have an admission to hospital document.
- Contribute to assessment of capacity and any best interest discussion that follows.
- To enable ward staff to deliver assessment and treatment.
- De-sensitisation work.
- Help with development of communication tools.
- Listen to and involve families and carers.
- Identify any reasonable adjustments that need to be made to provide equal access to services.
