What is the bed bureau?
The bed bureau is a service that collects information about Care Homes in the UK and distributes that information to the Social Services, Discharge Liason staff and the public. The website you are looking at is only one part of that.

What areas do you cover?
Currently we cover the whole of Wales, but we are expanding to cover areas in England!

The bed bureau isn't running in my area yet, what do i do?
We may not be running in your area yet, if you think the service will be useful to you or your staff then get in touch with us by emailing info@bedbureau.org You could also talk to the people locally who are in charge of Delayed Transfers of Care and get them to get in touch with us.

Why should I become a member?
You may have noticed that our public search actually tells you which homes have vacancies, which don't, and which ones we don't know about. Members get the ability to search for vacancies far more specifically. There are lots of extra options to make it easier to get the vacancy you are looking for. You also have the option of having vacancies e-mailed to you on a weekly or daily basis, you put in the search criteria you want and the system does the rest. You may not have to visit the site again!!
