Building bridges from hospital to home
Hospitals, homecare providers, physicians and nurses are faced with the challenge of developing methods to assure that high quality treatment of patients can be provided in a home setting.
TransCare is a B. Braun service to transfer patient care effectively from the hospital to their home, in a way that makes it possible to continue to provide optimal care.
The challenge
Seamless follow-up care is a very complex task, especially when it involves intensive and complex therapies. Medical and organisational know-how and an awareness of legal requirements are needed in order to coordinate the interaction of everyone involved, in providing care for the patient.
Our Service

Our Staff
Our staff
TransCare Nurses
TransCare is a nurse-led service, and as such all of the nurses working with TransCare are registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, as well as being subject to an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau check.
Patient Coordinators
TransCare focuses on providing a high quality service for our patients, and as such we provide our patients with a dedicated, named patient coordinator and a 24/7 freephone telephone number.
Our TransCare patient coordinators will liaise with the patient to arrange for the initial delivery of equipment and ancillary goods to the patient's home ready for their discharge, and a suitable delivery schedule going forward with the patient's therapy.
Logistics
We never underestimate the role that the delivery driver plays in providing a homecare service. They have direct contact with your patient.
All our drivers undergo training so that they provide a courteous, empathic service. They have also undergone a Criminal Records Bureau Check and, with the consent of your patient, they unpack their delivery, rotate stock and take away any packaging.
Our service provision means that patients will get delivery from the same driver where possible, that drivers are courteous and on time, whilst always maintaining patient confidentiality.
