The ward is supported by a full MDT including access to OT, OTAs, psychology, physiotherapy and SALT. Maples 1 also benefits from input from a dementia nurse consultant. The ward is supported by a full time SAS dr and two junior drs.

There is also a robust and effective discharge planning team. One of the CPFT community geriatricians visits the ward one morning per week and all the community physical health teams are available to support the ward.
