Punter Southall Health & Protection has launched a Post Hospital Discharge product to bridge the gap between hospital discharge and full recovery.
The Post Hospital Service has been designed to look after employees when they come out of hospital after a stay of 48 hours or longer.
The stay can be for any reason (except pregnancy), whether planned or emergency, and includes NHS or private care and so is relevant to the whole work force, not just those in a corporate health scheme.
To create the service Punter Southall Health & Protection teamed up with Red Arc Personal Nurse Advisers and Collinson Group.
As well as unlimited nurse adviser support, the service provides help at home by Care Quality Commission (CQC) accredited, domiciliary care providers.
Jan Lawson, executive director of Punter Southall Health & Protection said: "Being medically well enough to leave hospital is not the same as being better. Extra support after returning home is often necessary, but rarely provided.
"Everyone is different and this product combines practical help, emotional support and a personalised "Get well, Stay Well plan" for an unlimited period."
