🚑 Safe hospital discharge - New Resources! We were really interested to read this article in Inside Housing about homelessness and hospitals, written by Dee O’Connell, director of policy and programmes at charity Pathway - Homeless and Inclusion Health 👉 https://lnkd.in/enKNW-Uy This is something our team deal with on a regular basis - discharge to the streets, and something we're passionate about improving. This is why we've created two new resources about this. Please share! ⭐ What you need to know about hospital discharge (for people experiencing homelessness): https://bit.ly/4bhRgyq ⭐ Hospital discharge planning for patients experiencing homelessness (for frontline staff): https://bit.ly/4ihUowL #HospitalDischarge #Homelessness #Health #SafeDischarge

At Groundswell we strongly believe that individuals, organisations and wider society benefit from the insights of people with experience of homelessness. But, as lived experience recruitment continues to grow across the sector, we need to interrogate current practices, and reflect on what we can do better. Our research “It comes before your name” explores how lived experience roles can both reduce and amplify the stigmatisation of people who have been homeless.
