Although this role will be mostly hospital based, support will also be required in the community.

3. To deliver a person-centred approach by assessing the requirements of patients in their own home following their discharge from hospital, using health and wellbeing score frameworks to co-produce a tailored support plan to meet the patients’ needs and wishes.

4. To motivate and support individuals to identify their own goals aspirations as well as developing self-management strategies to improve their health and wellbeing and maintain their independence. Ensuring that guided conversations are led by the individual and that they are at the centre of everything we do.
