Home First - Supporting Patient Recovery at Home

Research supports the best place to recover is at home. This approach is designed to enable this while helping maintain a patient’s independence. This 'Home First' approach is part of our overarching Right Care Right Place messaging which helps the public access the right care in the right place to ease the pressure on health services and improve patient outcomes.

The Home First Stakeholder Toolkit has been developed to support patient discussions when an individual is returning home to recover. Resources can be used across digital and social channels and highlight what home first means and the benefits of recovery at home.

Home First social statics with accompanying social copy are now available, and additional assets are currently being developed which will be shared in the coming weeks via the SG Marketing Resource Centre - Home First
