Virtual wards were a key part of the response to the early phases of the pandemic and again to Omicron. Indeed, in late December 2021 NHS England issued urgent guidance saying a minimum of 15 per cent of covid positive hospital patients should be treated in virtual wards. And the national body’s 2022/23 priorities and operational planning guidance – issued around the same time – goes further, stating that “the scope for virtual wards is far greater”.
By the end of 2023, systems are expected “to have completed the comprehensive development of virtual wards towards a national ambition of 40–50 virtual beds per 100,000 population”. Funding has been promised to support this transformation.
So can virtual wards work at scale in the NHS? Is it possible to make such setups part of business at usual? What do we know about how to most effectively implement virtual wards? What are potential challenges and how can they be overcome? Is the 2023 target realistic – and desirable?
This HSJ webinar, run in association with Doccla, will bring together a small panel of experts to discuss the answers to these questions.

With more than 70,000 excess deaths during the 2003 heatwave in Europe, the acceleration of certain vector-borne diseases, poor air quality and increasing levels of climate anxiety, climate change is already having adverse health impacts on people’s physical and mental health.
This report comprehensively addresses some of the most threatening health impacts of climate change. Each of the chapters within the report analyses the relation between climate change and the consequential health impacts and, through a series of case studies, showcases best practise on how we can tackle this. The report serves not just to highlight the extent of the link between climate change and health but also demonstrates that solutions are in our grasp to prevent and mitigate the health consequences of climate change.
The webinar ‘The climate crisis and its health impacts‘ will centre around three themes:
How climate change impacts human health What can be done to prevent or mitigate such impacts Why it’s important to prioritise public health in the climate debate and methods to achieve this Speakers
Elaine Mulcahy, Director UK Health Alliance on Climate Change Dr Marina Romanello, Executive Director, Lancet Countdown Dr Claus Runge, Senior Vice President, Public Affairs & Sustainability at Bayer How to attend
