Early intervention- what can you do?

Rosemary has identified her financial situation as a concern as she prepares for discharge home. Let’s look at how she can be supported at this stage:

  • Signpost/ support for financial assistance
  • Help Rosemary to understand the benefits of work to her health
  • Support to engage with her employer

Financial stress has been identified by Rosemary as her immediate concern.  You could encourage her to discuss this with her husband / support network. Rosemary may be entitled to benefits, so you could signpost her to  mygov.scot/benefits-support or local citizens advice.
