Our amazing Community Virtual Ward team were at yesterday's WardAnywhere 2026 Conference, sharing best practice of how we look after urgent care patients at home.
The NHS Virtual Wards to Virtual Hospitals Strategy Conference is a major event and showcases the future of healthcare, aligned to the NHS long-term plan, looking very carefully at alternative models of patient care.
Our Community Virtual Ward in Derbyshire has received national acclaim and it was a pleasure to share with other healthcare professionals how we are able to keep patients who need urgent care, but not necessarily a hospital admission, at home.
Leading the way in innovation to ensure you get the care with us at the right place for you.
