Tender description

OPMH+ in Somerset is the Discharge service to support recovery, reablement and assessment and is the route for supported discharges where a person is unable to return to their usual place of residence at the point of discharge from acute hospital. The Bedded pathway model ensures no assessment for ongoing care happens in an acute hospital setting but happens in an appropriate pathway bed. This enables speedy discharge and prevents the overprovision of long-term care. This service is provided by a combination of commissioned providers and NHS therapist staff and is jointly funded through the Intermediate Care budget.
