The document outlines a project to design a new pathway to improve the transition of older people from hospital to home in order to help ensure they are not unnecessarily delayed in hospital care. The project aims to map the current service, identify effective interventions, gain insights from practitioners across Scotland, and establish an advisory group of stakeholders from various sectors to help design and implement the new pathway, with a focus on the Tayside locality.
