Virtual Wards

Over the next few months you may begin to hear about Virtual Wards being available to patients across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Virtual Wards are a safe and efficient alternative to NHS care that usually takes place in a hospital setting and they are enabled by utilising the latest technology.

Virtual Wards will support patients who would otherwise be in hospital, to receive the care, monitoring and support they need in the place they call home. This includes either preventing avoidable admissions into hospital or supporting early discharge out of hospital. The initial phase of the initiative will focus on early supported discharge out of hospital, whilst remaining under consultant care.

More information about Virtual Wards will be available on the NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire website and social media channels in the coming months where you will be able to find out more.
