Trusted Assessor Service

What we do...

• thorough, unbiased assessments for individuals in hospitals needing ongoing care;
• a single point of contact for care providers in Oxfordshire, so you don't have to deal with multiple people for updates;
• assistance with discharge planning to make sure a patient can go home safely and on time.
  

What we achieve...

• supporting patients to get home more quickly and more safely, as part of a smoother discharge process, improving the patient experience;
• better utilisation of care provider time and capacity by removing the need for them to complete a face-to-face assessment and providing them with a single point of contact based in the acute hospitals;
• reducing delays in transfers of care and reduce readmissions following discharge.

We are proud that...

Between April 2024 and March 2025, we completed 927 assessments (665 for care homes) at an average of 4.73 assessments per day and well over 2,000 daily updates.

44% assessments were for placement restarts and 63% of referrals were direct from care providers.

92% of referrals were dealt with same day or next day.

We saved the local health and care system £2.2m* and at least 4,000 hours of care provider time.

Trusted Assessor Services work for patients, hospitals, care settings and the health and care system.
