Main duties of the job

The Integrated Transfer of Care (ITOC) Team is a dynamic and multi-skilled team consisting of nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and Assistant Practitioners. We also work in alignment with social services and other Locala community services. Our purpose is to support a safe and timely hospital discharge of people who are medically fit, and no longer need hospital care, to a place more suitable to the person's needs. Assessments and care provision can then be tailored to support people to regain strengths and skills so that they can live as independently as possible.

The main priority of the team is to consider home first with ongoing community interventions, if required The ITOC model aims to support better outcomes for people leaving hospital by: Reducing the time people spend in hospital when they no longer need acute care preventing hospital acquired infections and 'deconditioning' (the loss of strength and independence) Assessing people in a more appropriate environment than the hospital giving a more accurate indication of their strengths and needs Providing multidisciplinary reablement and rehabilitation plans, and if necessary short-term care and support, to help people gain and re-gain independence, preventing or reducing need for longer term care.
