INNOVATIVE PRACTICE TO AVOID INAPPROPRIATE HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS

The GIRFT Urgent and Emergency Care (UEC) team and the Nursing Quality Team at NHS England, are looking to highlight innovative practice that helps avoid inappropriate hospital admissions for people living in care, residential or nursing homes.

We want to develop a small series of case studies showcasing learning and innovation in this area. If you, or your networks, are aware of examples of great practice that should be shared more widely across the healthcare community, we’d love to hear from you.

Please contact chris.morrow-frost@nhs.net by 31 May 2026 with:

  • Name, role and organisation
  • Contact email address
  • A few sentences describing how this approach supports people to remain in their care or nursing home and avoids unnecessary hospital admission

Thank you for supporting shared learning across the system.
