This person is expected to work in the ward environment, alongside the multidisciplinary team to ensure that effective discharge planning and communication are managed in order to provide a smooth, timely discharge from hospital.

The discharge coordinator will be working alongside the large multi-disciplinary team of nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, care support workers, occupational therapists and social workers. The Discharge Coordinator would be expected to liaise with the Integrated Discharge Team following the Discharge to assess pathways as well as working with the nursing and medical staff to ensure prompt discharges from the ward.
