Discharge Support Volunteers Pilot

In partnership with Healthcare Improvement Scotland, NHS Tayside designed and delivered an 18 week pilot of a volunteer discharge support service between October 2022 and February 2023. The service involved volunteers calling patients for up to five consecutive days following discharge. Additionally, volunteers were able to provide support to the family members/carers of the patient to ensure that they were managing well with caring for their loved one post discharge.
