Community Liaison Service

Hospital Discharge Support Programme: Directing you to community support in your area.

The Community Liaison Service provides 3rd sector discharge support to North Lanarkshire residents age 16+ and their carers, in hospitals and NHS sites across Lanarkshire.

We meet with patients, families and carers to offer advice on community supports and refer to relevant community-based supports when required.

We can provide this both pre and post discharge.
