It is a great example of collaborative working between health and care organisations, and we have had outstanding feedback from people receiving the service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people have said that they feel safer knowing they are being regularly monitored, and they receive a huge psychological boost from being at home, in comfortable surroundings with their loved ones. This sort of approach is definitely the future of healthcare and we&#8217;re proud to be part of it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Rebecca Winterborn, Consultant Vascular Surgeon at North Bristol NHS Trust<\/strong> and NHS@Home Joint Clinical Lead said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI&#8217;ve worked closely with colleagues from University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust, in particular Consultant Respiratory Physician Kathryn Bateman, and Sirona care &amp; health, to develop this new digitally-enabled service and have seen first-hand the difference it can make.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNHS@Home provides safe care, tailored to the individual, in the place they call home, as an alternative to being in a hospital bed. This means they can be comfortable in their own surroundings, retain their independence and are less likely to experience deconditioning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFeedback from patients is overwhelmingly positive and supports this, and we hope to be able to care for many more people in this way over winter and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs well as improving the experience of patients, NHS@Home helps make beds available for planned operations and care across our region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe HomeFirst approach is a step towards more personalised healthcare and demonstrates a cultural shift in the delivery of wellbeing and health support for our communities&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Eileen York, 96, from Winscombe, North Somerset, has been using the NHS@Home service for the last month after becoming ill with pneumonia before the festive period. Her daughter Kathy Martin has been supporting her to take her daily readings to submit to the service using the smartphone provided with the service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kathy said<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;On the day mum returned home from hospital the NHS@Home team were on hand to provide us with everything we needed to monitor her condition together. They have been so supportive, regularly checking in over the phone and in person too \u2013 which has been really reassuring for both of us. Her mobility is improving, she&#8217;s becoming more independent and she&#8217;s in a good place mentally.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Eileen added<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think I&#8217;ve recovered quicker as I feel more comfortable in my own surroundings, I&#8217;m able to rest in my own bed and I have my family around me. I am thrilled with the support I&#8217;ve received.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The NHS@Home expansion forms part of a more than \u00a318m investment in schemes to increase bed capacity and respond to demand for NHS services in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire during the challenging winter months.<\/p>\n<p>Other schemes being implemented in the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire area this winter include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An enhanced mental health ambulance service, providing specialist care for people experiencing a mental health crisis while relieving pressure on wider ambulance services in the region<\/li>\n<li>A temporary \u2018care hotel\u2019 facility to support faster hospital discharge for patients awaiting a home care and rehabilitation package<\/li>\n<li>A new ward at Southmead Hospital, providing extra inpatient bed capacity<\/li>\n<li>Expanded \u2018same day emergency care\u2019 services at local hospitals to reduce admissions and help people return home sooner following urgent treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The measures are backed up by a winter communication campaign encouraging people to take up flu and Covid vaccinations, speak to their local pharmacy at the first sign of illness, and contact NHS 111 online for immediate help with urgent care needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lisa Manson<\/strong> <strong>added<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019re working hard to make sure that we can maintain safe and effective services for local people during the busy winter months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe public can play their part too, by taking up vaccinations and using the right service for their needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NHS is here for you throughout the winter. If you think you need help, please speak to your pharmacist, contact your GP or, if it\u2019s urgent, contact NHS 111 online to get assessed and directed to the best service for your needs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Up-to-date information and advice on local NHS services, is available on the NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire ICB website.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"mt-5 flex flex-row gap-x-6 uppercase text-lg font-bold text-primary items-center leading-normal\">\n    <div class=\"scriptlesssocialsharing\"><p class=\"scriptlesssocialsharing__heading\">Ndani:<\/p><div class=\"scriptlesssocialsharing__buttons\"><a class=\"button twitter\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Hundreds%20more%20to%20benefit%20from%20%E2%80%98NHS%40Home%E2%80%99%20service&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fbnssghealthiertogether.org.uk%2Fsq%2Fnews%2Fhundreds-more-to-benefit-from-nhs-at-home-service%2F&#038;via=nhsuk&#038;related=nhsuk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" ><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"scriptlesssocialsharing__icon twitter\" fill=\"currentcolor\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" role=\"img\"><!--!
