The beds were previously run by University Hospitals of Northamptonshire before NHFT took over provision earlier this year.<\/p>\n
In total, there are 19 beds for people experiencing spells of sudden confusion (delirium) and seven that can be used if demand increases. <\/p>\n
Anne Rackham, NHFT’s chief operating officer, said: “Our community hospitals are a really important part of people’s recovery journeys, helping them to regain their health, independence and confidence after treatment in an acute hospital for illness or injury.<\/p>\n
“I’d like to thank everyone behind the scenes who has worked so hard to complete the full opening of our community hospital service ahead of the winter, which is always a busy time for the NHS.”<\/p>\n
The trust said people stay after being referred by a team of healthcare professionals who have carefully assessed their needs.<\/p>\n
Staff at the centres include doctors, nurses, therapists and healthcare assistants, providing therapy and exercise to help patients “regain their strength, fitness and confidence to return home”, the trust added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The beds were previously run by University Hospitals of Northamptonshire before NHFT took over provision earlier this year.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":327589,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-327588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/327589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
