An Oxfordshire-wide initiative, which is helping people to return home from hospital more quickly, has delivered significant improvements for Oxfordshire patients since it was launched in November 2023.

The initiative is called Discharge to Assess (D2A) and it enables people who have had a stay in hospital to continue their recovery in the comfort of their own home, close to the communities that support them.

The national programme brings together hospital-based teams from health, adult social care, therapy and reablement to plan a patient's best route out of hospital, as well as provide a more joined-up way to receive support once at home.
