Post-acute care enablement (PACE)

Case finders at Royal Free Hospital and Barnet General Hospital send patients out to the PACE teams based in Barnet, Camden, Enfield and Hertfordshire.

Hospital consultants refer to the case finders who then assess the patients at Royal Free Hospital and Barnet General Hospital only.

Our case finders are on duty 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday and weekends from 9am to 5pm at Royal Free Hospital and Barnet General Hospital.

Our community team works 8am to 10pm, seven days a week. Patients are seen on discharge in their own home or residential and nursing homes.

All referral are done via nhs.net.

This service cannot be referred in to from outside of the Royal Free Hospital and Barnet General Hospital until patients are assessed and accepted on to the pathway by the case finders based in the acute hospitals.

Inclusion

Medically fit patients that require a further few days of care can have care provided to them in their home.

Exclusion

Patients with mental health needs, require packages of care or deep cleaning or adaption to the home.

All of our patients are given the team number (0845 389 0940) to contact our PACE team. On discharge patients will be provided with an information leaflet.
