Routes Healthcare works alongside industry partners including the NHS, local authorities, and district nurses. Our goal? To ensure seamless, high-quality care for patients. Our specialised services play a crucial role in solving challenges within the healthcare system. These services help alleviate the strain of growing demand and improve patient outcomes.
These are what we call ‘System Solutions’ - specialist service packages that play a crucial role in addressing specific needs. We craft bespoke services - both interim and long-term - addressing capacity issues and enhancing patient flow. Our approach ensures rapid deployment of cost-effective, sustainable solutions, such as rapid discharge services or clinical care.
By providing these crucial services, Routes Healthcare is contributing to the long-term sustainability of the NHS. Here's how our work makes a real difference:

Reducing Delayed Transfers of Care (DTOCs):
What are DTOCs?
What are DTOCs?
These are situations where patients are ready to leave the hospital but can't because the care they need at home or in the community isn't available yet.
Our impact
Our impact
Our efficient discharge services help patients leave hospital sooner. This means beds are freed up more quickly for other patients who need them.
Why it matters
Why it matters
Fewer delayed discharges mean hospitals can treat more patients and run more efficiently, which is crucial for the NHS's performance and the patient's care standards.
Promoting 'Home First' Initiatives
Home First is an NHS approach that aims to help people recover and receive care in their own homes rather than in hospitals or care homes. We provide the necessary support to make it possible for people to receive care safely and comfortably in their own homes. This approach also helps reduce pressure on hospitals and care homes.
Preventative Care
Our regular presence in people's homes means we can spot potential health problems early. For example, we might notice changes in a person's mobility or eating habits that could indicate a developing health issue. Early intervention often leads to better health outcomes and can prevent costly hospital admissions. This is better for patients and helps reduce pressure on NHS emergency services.
Workforce Support
The Challenge
The Challenge
The NHS is facing staffing shortages, especially in community care roles like district nursing.
Our contribution

By taking on routine tasks (like changing wound dressings or helping with medications), we free up NHS staff to focus on more complex cases that require their specialist skills.
Why it matters
Why it matters
This helps the NHS use its workforce more efficiently. It means that highly trained NHS staff can concentrate on the tasks that truly need their expertise, while still ensuring that all patients receive the care they need.
