This will include progressing any barriers that could delay discharge by developing strong working relationships with Care Co-ordinator's/Led Professionals in the wider MDT, partner organisations and outside agencies.

Work in partnership with relevant organisations like housing providers, social care providers and voluntary / community organisations to support patients to access appropriate services that will continue to improve their mental health and recovery on discharge, promote independence and support a safe discharge from hospital.
