What is being bought

Published requirement description

The nurse outreach service, funded through the Rough Sleeping Initiative, coordinates safe hospital discharges for patients with a history of rough sleeping and provides health checks within seven days for individuals booked into emergency accommodations.

This vital service offers flexible engagements with rough sleepers, providing support to access primary and secondary care, including joint outreach with the homeless outreach team and in-reach into hostels and Day Centres. The outreach nurse conducts health assessments, including assertive street outreach, supports individuals in accessing onward care, and is embedded within the wider rough sleeping multi-disciplinary team (MDT). This role addresses barriers to healthcare for homeless individuals, working to increase access and reduce emergency admissions.
