Red Bag Scheme
The ‘Hospital Transfer Pathway’ or ‘Red Bag’ helps provide
a safe and efficient transfer of clinical care when a resident
moves between a care home and other clinical settings.
The Red Bag contains standardised information about the
resident’s general health, any existing medical conditions
they have, medication they are taking, as well as
highlighting the current health concern.
This means that NHS staff can determine the treatment a
resident needs more effectively. The bag stays with the
resident from the time they leave the home to go to
hospital, until they return to their care home. When
residents are ready to go home, a copy of their discharge
summary is placed in the Red Bag so that care home staff
have access to this important information when their
residents arrive back home.
Contact your local Clinical Commissioning Group or Local Authority representative to collect
bags. More information and guidance is available here: https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/
