How we work
People who need our health and care services can access some of them directly. For others, a health or care professional needs to refer you. Often, they will be working in an NHS hospital where we have a service that supports their patients.
If we can’t support you, we’ll do our best to give you details of other organisations that may be able to help.
Support services we can offer
Depending on availability, our typical services might include:
- transport home from hospital
- help to connect you with activities in your community
- help in rebuilding your confidence
- transport to hospital for essential care
- help with everyday tasks (for example, picking up prescriptions or shopping)
- up to 12 weeks of support.
