Virtual wards: bringing the hospital home

When the Patients Association asked its members earlier this year if they'd be willing to be cared for on a virtual ward. The answer was a cautious, 'yes' but members wanted to know more about the system. 

To answer those questions, the Patients Association put together a panel, who'll explain how the NHS is using virtual wards and answer questions.

Panel:

  • Jono Broad, a patient leader in the southwest of England.
  • Emma Matthews, Regional Community Development Lead NHS England South West.
  • Dr Shelagh O’Riordan, Consultant Community Geriatrician at Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust where she runs a large frailty virtual ward.
  • Dr Crystal Oldman CBE, Chief Executive, The Queen's Nursing Institute.

Ann Lloyd Keen, who is also a registered nurse, will chair this event.
