PRJ 1322 – Intermediate Care Beds - Lewisham

NHS South East London ICB is seeking to commission Intermediate Care Beds Services. The service will provide a 14 Intermediate Care Beds to support a responsive and deliverable bed based rehabilitation service, within the London Borough of Lewisham, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year

The main service outcome will be to deliver a 14 bed based Intermediate Care rehabilitation and reablement service. The service is for adults aged 18 years and upwards. It will have capacity to support at least 4 double handed patients at any one time though the provider will be expected to give consideration to supporting a higher number of people with initial double handed support needs at point
of hospital discharge. There will also need to be at least 2 beds designed and allocated to meet the needs of Bariatric patients.

Patients will predominantly be referred as part of the hospital discharge pathway. However, there will also be a ‘step up’ pathway to support avoidable hospital admissions where bed based rehabilitation would deliver the same or better results.
