New research on delayed hospital discharge supported by Ignition funding
The Institute for Employment Research (IER) with Chris Warhurst as the Principal Investigator was awarded Vivensa Academy Ignition funding to look into one of the biggest pressures facing health and care services in the UK: delayed hospital discharge. This happens when someone is medically ready to leave hospital but cannot return home or move into the right care setting straight away.
