Chester, United Kingdom Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust Full time

**Working Full Time**: 37.5 Hours Per Week

An exciting opportunity had arisen for dynamic individuals to join our Discharge Lounge Team

The Countess of Chester Hospital's Discharge Lounge sees on average 45 patients a day. The service supports timely discharge to enable flow. The service provides Transport Facilities for those that require it as well as ensuring patients leave with correct medication. The role involves transferring patients from base wards to the discharge lounge, provide care whilst they are in the lounge and ensure the patients are discharged safely.

This team ensures patients discharges are expedited by transferring from their ward to a more appropriate area. The service identifies appropriate patients, liaises with their wards and transfers the patients to the discharge lounge, ensuring all belongings are with the patient and all medication prescribed and checked as well as transport requirement discussed. This is an opportunity to work with a small and dynamic team supporting the overall flow of the organization. There is an overall expansion of the service.

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust provides services to West Cheshire and to Welsh patients covered by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board. The Trust works collaboratively within the wider Cheshire and Merseyside Health and Care Partnership. Its services are provided from three locations:
**The Countess of Chester Hospital**: providing 438 general and acute beds

**Ellesmere Port Hospital**: providing 56 beds as a rehabilitation, intermediate and outpatient facility

**Tarporley War Memorial Hospital**: a base for community services which serve the local rural population.

The Trust employs over 6258 staff (headcount) which includes temporary bank staff and provides acute emergency and elective services, primary care direct access services and obstetric services to a population of approximately 407,000. This includes 357,000 residents in Chester and West Cheshire which includes Ellesmere Port and Neston as well as the Deeside area of Flintshire which has a population of approximately 50,000.

The Trust is a busy district general hospital and in 2022/2023, there were more than 503,342 patient attendances (inpatient, outpatient and diagnostic) ranging from a simple outpatient appointment to major cancer surgery. This is an increase of nearly 10,000 compared to the previous year when there were 494,387 patient attendances.
