SalaryOur Hospital Discharge Service in Renfrewshire has recently been re-shaped, with focus on patient flow in acute NHS hospitals, and discharge planning in line with assessment processes.
The development of our Intermediate Care Service hosted by one of our HSCP Care Homes has been a positive addition to our service delivery options.
