Adult Services - Unplanned Intermediate Care Team

Our team aims to provide rapid assessment, treatment and monitoring of patients who have experienced a recent trauma or deterioration in their physical health and are at risk of admission to hospital. This is achieved by supporting people in their own homes or facilitating early discharge from hospital where a health monitoring or rehabilitation need has been identified.

We plan outcomes, which work towards maximising independence and typically enabling patients to resume living at home.  We also deliver intravenous therapy with intensive monitoring to patients within the community to ensure they are able to remain out of hospital.       

Who is this service for?  Our services are for people aged 18 years and over.

How to access this service: Telephone referrals are taken from your GP, the ambulance, residential homes and any health or social care professional. Patients and cares can self-refer if already known to unplanned intermediate care, community nursing or evening district nursing teams.

For referrals 8am to 11.30pm, telephone: 0300 777 0002 (select option 1).
