Relocating patients from a specialist homeless healthcare centre to general practices: a multi-perspective study.

Background: The relocation of formerly homeless patients eligible to transfer from a specialist homeless healthcare centre (SHHC) to mainstream general practices is key to patient integration in the local community. Failure to transition patients conferring eligibility for relocation may also negatively impact on SHHC service delivery.

Aim: To explore barriers and facilitators of relocation from the perspectives of formerly homeless patients and healthcare staff involved in their care.
