14/10/2024

Very few people from ethnically diverse backgrounds are accessing intermediate care and reablement and we wanted to understand the reasons for this. 

We visited community groups, spoke to people who had experiences of needing additional support following discharge from hospital, and gathered feedback from staff who are involved in hospital discharge.
