The Chief Nursing Officer for England issued a winter framework to help nursing staff ensure patients don’t spend any time longer than they need to in hospital, particularly over the busy winter period. The framework emphasizes maximizing the use of care homes across Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships and making best use of available beds. It describes therapy-led units where the focus is on reablement and rehabilitation with a reduced reliance on medical and registered nursing staff. NHS found that in July 2017, in the north of England alone, if every patient was discharged one day earlier, it would have released 2,707 bed days for other patients, saving the NHS £5.6 million.
