Another day, another #virtualward evaluation. This evaluation of Liverpool heart failure VW identified a substantial net cost benefit, driven by reduced hospital stays, fewer ED visits, and lower readmissions. Great for patients and great for the system! Well done @DrRajivsankar

I’m proud that people from nearly 200 countries work in our NHS.

I completely condemn this racist violence and stand with our staff and the communities they live and work in. Thank you to our emergency services who are working hard to keep everyone safe.

Thanks @WestHertsNHS and @CLCHNHSTrust for hosting us yesterday! Always brilliant to get out and about and see first-hand the fantastic care being provided through #virtualwards

[Carissa Gilbert @carissagilbert_]

It was exciting to see joint virtual ward pathways in action yesterday at @WestHertsNHS & @CLCHNHSTrust - nothing compares to hearing patients and staff share their reflections on #virtualwards and how delivering #hospitalathome provides more options for how patients receive care

[Charlotte Lynch @charlynch18]

Take a look at the latest virtual wards evaluation, which is the largest of its kind so far, looking at the impact of admission avoidance VWs in the South East. Some really promising findings with lots to learn and take forward in our work!

[Charlotte Lynch @charlynch18]

Fantastic resource from @RedCrossPolicy with really practical recommendations on how providers can make sure virtual wards are accessible for people living with health inequalities.

[British Red Cross Policy @RedCrossPolicy]

Hospital treatment at home can improve quality of care for many. But does everyone enjoy equal access to @NHSEngland virtual wards / hospital at home services?

[Charlotte Lynch @charlynch18]

Huge congratulations to @DrRajivsankar on this well deserved award! It's a pleasure to get to work with someone so knowledgeable and passionate for our GIRFT virtual wards programme and fantastic to see your hard work recognised!

[Dr.Rajiv Sankaranarayanan @DrRajivsankar]

https://t.co/4U27LQXS00 Deeply humbled & honoured to receive this award. This would not have been possible without the huge support of my amazing team of #heartfailure specialist nurses @LivHospitals @Mersey_Care @EmekaOguguo1 Dr Douglas & patients, their carers to help #BeatHF

[Charlotte Lynch @charlynch18]

@DrRajivsankar @LivHospitals @Mersey_Care @EmekaOguguo1 Huge congratulations Rajiv! Very well deserved!!

[NHS England @NHSEngland]

‘I was really grateful to be given the option to be cared for at home.’

Thousands of people like Margaret can receive hospital-level care at home through virtual wards. Patients are cared for and monitored remotely, and supported by visits from specialist staff when necessary.

[Charlotte Lynch @charlynch18]

This #proactivecare framework has been a long time coming and is more important than ever to help people with complex needs stay well and maintain independence. Definitely worth taking a look!

[Community Health Services @NHSEnglandCHS]

The #ProactiveCare approach has 5 core components:

1. Case identification
2. #HolisticAssessment
3. #PersonalisedCare and support planning (#PCSP)
4. Coordinated and multi professional working (#MDT)
5. Continuity of care

[Charlotte Lynch @charlynch18]

If you are living with dementia hospital can be a really scary place and being able to stay at home to receive acute care can make a huge difference. Thanks to @alzheimerssoc for this brilliant blog!
