The Red Bag Scheme helps provide a prompt, safe and efficient transfer of clinical care, when a resident moves between a care home and other clinical settings, such as hospitals or ‘step up’ and ‘step down’ beds.
The red bag contains standardised paperwork, medication and personal belongings. It stays with the care home resident from the time they leave the home to go into hospital until the time they return to their Care Home at the end of their Hospital stay.
The Digital Care Homes & Social Care Team at the NHS Norfolk & Waveney Integrated Care Board have created a package for Care Providers to use when a resident is transferred or admitted into Hospital.
