Delayed discharges of Medically Fit For Discharge (MFFD) patients are more than an inconvenience—they’re a systemic bottleneck that affects patient flow, staff efficiency, and hospital performance.

Bedflow is designed to work with you, not around you.

We’re a fully integrated discharge support service that removes the practical, logistical, and environmental barriers preventing timely discharges. Our goal: to help you free up beds faster, reduce delays, and improve patient outcomes.

We provide rapid, reliable support to ensure patients can return home safely and comfortably:

•  Locksmith services for property access or security
•  Professional cleaning to prepare homes for safe discharge
•  Emergency food parcels for nutritional support
•  Essential appliances (fridges, microwaves, kettles)
•  Bed packs and kitchen packs for hygiene and basic living needs
• Medicine cabinets and key safes for safe medication and carer access
•  Coordination of basic medical equipment (commodes, walking aids, perching stools)

We liaise directly with hospital discharge teams, ward staff, and community services to ensure every discharge is smooth, safe, and timely.

• We can meet patients on the ward and coordinate directly with OTs and discharge planners
• We handle referrals, logistics, and home preparation so you don’t have to
• We ensure equipment is delivered and installed before discharge, not after
• We eliminate fragmented referrals and last-minute delays

Bedflow is not an add-on it’s an extension of your team.

• Reduces MFFD delays and frees up capacity in high-pressure areas like A&E and surgical wards
• Minimises ambulance handover delays and elective surgery cancellations

• Discharge teams spend less time resolving housing, equipment, or social care issues
• Clinical staff can focus on care, not coordination
• Reduces stress and improves morale across teams

• Supports KPIs including Length of Stay, DTOC, and 18-week RTT
• Enhances CQC ratings and public confidence
• Strengthens eligibility for incentive funding and commissioning bonuses

• Patients return home sooner, reducing infection risk and deconditioning
• Improves continuity of care and lowers readmission rates
• Builds trust with patients and families

• Cost savings (£450–£1,500 per day per patient) can be reinvested into frontline services
• Enables innovation without increasing budgets
• Supports long-term sustainability and system resilience

Because we understand your pressures. Because we coordinate, not complicate. Every day saved is a win for patients, staff, and the system.

Let’s make discharge a launchpad, not a log jam.
