Think Local Act Personal

An event that lasts for one or more days, when a team of senior professionals from a hospital, community services and the local council look at how people who are staying in hospital can be supported to go home. They visit people on hospital wards, with a particular focus on individuals who have been in hospital for a week or more. They look at what support people need at home, and aim to solve problems and reduce delays.
