Team Effort To Keep Hospital Beds Available
Sandwell’s social care boss has praised the round-the-clock efforts of health and council staff working hard to keep hospital beds available during the busy winter period. Councillor Ann Shackleton visited Sandwell Hospital in West Bromwich to see first-hand how older people are cared for, assessed and discharged. She toured the Older Persons’ Assessment Unit and also met the Joint Discharge Team, speaking to health and social care workers as well as a consultant and a patient.
