21 049 Trusted Assessor Service

This is an opportunity of providing TRUSTED ASSESSOR SERVICE PROVIDED BY INDEPENDENT TRANSFER OF CARE COORDINATORS. This service will provide a trusted assessment function through Independent Transfer of Care Coordinators. This service will initially work with existing care home residents who have been admitted to hospital and require assessment prior to transferring back to the care home. In addition to this the provider will also link in with the British Red Cross service and other third sector organisations to deflect demand. The provider will continue to work flexibly and will work with hospitals to support 7-day discharges where possible. We would look for the provider to have a presence at Macclesfield District General Hospital and Leighton hospital to carry out the trusted assessment and for work to deflect demand in line with the specification.
