NHS Lothian - Whole system bed modelling

Client

NHS Lothian

Location

Edinburgh

Year

Oct 2023 - Present

B+A have been working with NHS Lothian and the four Health & Social Care Partnerships to develop a whole system bed model, including all commissioned inpatient beds across NHS and social care environments.

Scenarios are being developed to  understand the demand over the next 5, 10, 15 & 20 years and to establish a range of planning assumptions which could impact on inpatient bed requirements.
