Hospital Based Complex Clinical Care

Executive Summary

For some individuals, Hospital Based Complex Clinical Care will be required and this may mean a longer stay in hospital. The key aim for anyone that does need to be in hospital for a longer period of time is to get them well enough to return to whatever setting is most suitable for them in the community whilst ensuring all health or social care needs are supported.

The care people receive should be seamless, with all organisations working together to improve the outcomes of individuals receiving care. Research has consistently shown that people want to live as independently as possible and remain in their own homes for as long as they feel safe. If this is not possible, then they want to be supported in a homely setting where they stay connected with their local community and their social networks.
