Clandy, We have recently (6 months ago) set up a similar team comprising of Bed Manager (nursing background), Physio, OT, Therapy Assistant, Social Worker, Dietician and Speech & Language Therapist (later two a few hours the rest full time). We aim to assess patients in A & E to prevent admission, pick up patients in the hospital (mainly medical) who could have relatively short admissions with supported discharge (ie patients 'off their feet' following UTI once medically fit, post ortho surgery). Physio and OT provide a 2 week outreach follow up. We also deal with more complex discharges aiming to prevent delays. We are based in Paisley, Scotland.
