Overview
Specialist Physiotherapist - Surrey Downs Health & Care. Working across organisational boundaries as part of the Surrey Downs Health and Care system, the integrated health and care team provides rapid access, enhanced short-term health and care support for people who would otherwise need emergency hospital admission, as well as those medically stable to return home from an acute hospital but requiring enhanced short-term support as part of their ongoing care pathway. The Surrey Downs Health and Care Home First service spans the acute and community to provide joined-up, coordinated care to local citizens with health and social care needs. The service aims to support people living independently by offering rapid multidisciplinary assessment and support at times of crisis. The rapid response function provides assessment within 2 hours of referral and a short-term, high-intensity package of care in the person’s home as an alternative to hospital admission. When admission is unavoidable, the team provides hospital-in-reach with multidisciplinary discharge planning to facilitate early discharge and support people to return home as quickly as possible.
As a therapist within Surrey Downs Health and Care there is an opportunity to work closely with, and potentially rotate into, other sectors of the organisation, including the Home First Service which provides enhanced supported discharge and prevention of acute hospital admission.
Surrey Downs Health and Care delivers care closer to people’s communities through our Primary Care Networks, Community Hospitals, Specialist Services and our partnership with local NHS organisations.
We uphold a track record of person-centered care that goes beyond organisational boundaries to do what is best for the individual. This partnership includes GP federations, CSH Surrey, Epsom and St Helier’s University Hospitals NHS Trust and Surrey Council. Historically there have been boundary lines between organisations, but we are united in our mission to provide excellent care to those who need us.
