4. Use available clinical and patient information to understand the patient's current position within the pathway and identify the actions required to progress their discharge.

Multidisciplinary and Partnership Working

1. Attend MDT, Best Interest, MADE and other relevant meetings to provide and obtain updates regarding patient progress and agree actions to support discharge.

2. Use initiative and practical problem-solving skills to identify appropriate solutions and progress issues wherever possible.

3. Escalate unresolved delays, risks and barriers to the appropriate senior colleague or service lead in a timely manner.

4. Recognise the impact that delays in individual patient pathways can have on wider D2A capacity and acute hospital flow.

5. Prioritise competing demands and manage workload effectively, particularly during periods of increased pressure or high demand.
