abstract: We are a group of intermediate care clinical leaders who are keen to establish a way of monitoring the capacity of the five intermediate care teams that have been set up in Leeds. We are aware of some tools that have been developed for district nursing but have found that the complexities of the workload and the interdisciplinary nature of intermediate care make the tools very difficult to adapt for our use. We would be keen to make contact with any colleagues who are grappling with the same issues, or indeed have developed a tool that works for them. It would also be good to share the experience that we have with others involved in this exciting, developing area of service provision.
