Virtual patient in Virtual ward ??

It seems they have a MDT which includes a consultant, nurses and occupational therapists. Each patients case is discussed daily and further treatment decided.
It sounds good and a lot easier than being on a ward.
No mention was made of any restrictions such as going out .

They did this in some places when we were all hibernating in Covid years and it worked very well My friends son had Covid away from home and they used a virtual ward and sent him everything he needed meds and even a thermometer
I think it’s a good idea because you don’t have to be away from your home in unfamiliar surroundings but you are getting the level of care you need

I think they are brilliant. Everyone knows that people get better more quickly at home and are less at risk of catching an infection.

It used to confuse me , though, when someone who was requesting a visit from DH announced she was the virtual nurse.

And DD1 works in a virtual school. But she is real.

They have one of these wards at our hospital and I know they have a team of nurses and a Doctor that will come out to your home should they think it necessary, they can also call you in for a face to face it they think that is necessary too.

Never heard of it - it’s like an online ward / pharmacy - you can stay in the comfort of your own home - but how do they monitor your condition ?

Sounds like hospital level care but in the comfort of your own home. This could be good. I hope you feel better soon. Keep us posted though. It's interesting to hear about this virtual ward.
