Are you prepared for the pressures of winter?

 

October 2011

How can you prepare for the pressures of winter?

Across Britain last year more than 600 people died from flu, with many hospitals forced to cancel operations due to the overwhelming number of new admissions.

Unfortunately, it looks like the situation could be an even bigger challenge this year.

By discharging medically stable patients from hospital earlier, the pressure on hospital resources can be reduced.

Bupa Home Healthcare work in partnership with the NHS.to run successful out of hospital care services.

 NHS Berkshire quote

A successful out of hospital care programme can:

create extra capacity without necessary capital development from the hospital

reduce the number of hospital bed days, helping to meet financial targets

free up busy hospital facilities and resources

release hospital pharmacy capacity

improve patient outcomes and satisfaction
