Prevention & Falls Response Unit is a clinician-led service, providing short-term care in the community to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and reduce bed-blocking.
Admission avoidance is an integrated clinical service that provides an alternative pathway of intensive home-based care to prevent avoidable hospital utilisation for patients who can be safely treated and monitored at home.
Margaret Lawal, our CEO and in-house Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP), has 30+ years worth of experience working in both community and hospital settings.
Margaret won the Innovative Practice Award from NHS England for Allied Health Professionals at the 6th Annual Nurse & AHP conference for developing an admission avoidance service model in North Northamptonshire, demonstrating her innovative capabilities in this area of care delivery.
Her most recent experience is in working locum shifts for the Out of Hours GP service, providing relevant community care expertise
