PATIENTS are to be offered the opportunity to get back into their own homes sooner with a proposal to increase hospital rehabilitation support.

NHS Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), North Durham CCG and Darlington CCG have launched a ten-week public consultation to review the services on Ward 6, Bishop Auckland Hospital.

The 24-bed ward currently delivers nurse- led step down care for patients, many of who are medically well but unable to return home immediately.

The existing Ward 6 service provides limited therapy input and is not a specific rehabilitation facility. Beds on Ward 6 have been used for patients waiting for packages of care or other assessments to assist them before they return home.

Following a review of services, a clinically based proposal has been put forward by the CCG to repurpose the unit into an inpatient rehabilitation facility, offering patients dedicated therapy support to help them leave hospital sooner and get back to where they live.

We’re Listening – ‘info-graphic’:

Following the pause due to the general election, we wanted to take this opportunity to share a brief summary of some of the comments that had been received through the work undertaken prior to ‘purdah’ coming into effect. You can see a snapshot of this information in our Ward 6 – ‘We’re Listening’ Info-graphic
