Abstract:
The transfer of patients from a district general hospital to community hospitals for rehabilitation is a key part of their care. Thorough assessment and preparation of the patient and his or her relatives is essential. Senior nurses in one trust set up a project to improve this transfer process for patients by introducing a nurse-to-nurse referral project.
