Virtual wards (also known as ‘hospital at home’) allow patients to get the care they need at home, safely and conveniently, rather than being in hospital. 

Our virtual ward team is made up of nurses, doctors and therapists, who can monitor your condition at home and make changes to your care and treatment without the need for you to stay in hospital.

If you are a hospital inpatient and it is safe for you to do so, you may be offered the option of being looked after on the virtual ward, at home. This will mean you are still under the care of the hospital, and we will continue to check in and monitor your recovery, to make sure your condition does not get worse.
