Easing Winter Pressures: Venture People and Prometheus Complex Care Partnership

By

As services across health and social care brace for another challenging winter, the need for joined-up, evidence-based support has never been greater.

Rising demand, delayed discharges, and increasing inpatient strain all add pressure to already stretched NHS systems.

That’s why Venture People and Prometheus Complex Care have come together to deliver a coordinated, trauma-informed response that improves patient flow, reduces inpatient strain, and safeguards individuals throughout their recovery journey.

A Comprehensive Offer

Our combined approach spans the full continuum of care (from hospital to home) ensuring individuals are supported safely and compassionately every step of the way.

One-to-One Community Support

Safe, trauma-informed discharge pathways that help individuals reintegrate into their communities.

Crisis Accommodation

Step-down support that prevents readmission and provides stability at critical transition points.

Enhanced Inpatient Observations

Therapeutic engagement that prioritises recovery and dignity, not just monitoring.

Safe Transport

Specialist teams supporting transfers from inpatient settings to community placements with care and respect.

Rapid Mobilisation

Scalable, needs-led solutions that can be deployed quickly in response to system pressures.

Proven Impact

The outcomes speak for themselves:

  • 338 patients supported via the Discharge Outreach Recovery Service

    £3 million NHS savings through reduced bed days

  • 101 patients supported via the Rapid Discharge Service

    £1 million NHS savings through avoided admissions

Our work is recognised in NHSE Discharge Funding Guidance and GIRFT (Getting It Right First Time) reports, reflecting a proven track record of measurable impact.

Why Choose Us

  • Healthcare-led, not security-led

  • Trauma-informed, recovery-focused care

  • Partnerships with NHS, Police & Social Care

  • Value for money and scalable delivery options

Together, Prometheus and Venture People offer practical, compassionate solutions to one of the sector’s biggest challenges — ensuring individuals are supported safely while easing winter pressures on frontline services.
