The North Transitional Discharge Team are a group of experienced mental health nurses who have developed working relationships with social care, housing services and other external organisations that work to support service users to live in the community.

The team helps service users and carers to overcome barriers to discharge from hospital. Some examples of the things we can help with are:

  • Housing
  • Benefits
  • Supported accommodation
  • Debt advice
  • Practical issues such as purchasing furniture and helping with moving house
  • Support to manage the transition back to the community from hospital

 

Service users who are admitted to a ward at St Georges Park Hospital, Morpeth.

Please ask a member of staff on the ward where you are staying.

Ward staff can refer a service user to the North Transitional Discharge Team by completing a referral form and emailing the form to: NORTHTDT@cntw.nhs.uk
