Transforming care beyond hospital walls: showcasing innovation, partnership and patient-centred care through Virtual Wards.

Location:

📍 Neville Room, Hilton Leeds City, Neville Street. Leeds, LS1 4BX

Event Description

Join Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber to find out how virtual wards are transforming patient care, with a model that is easily scalable and applicable to any hospital.

The Leeds virtual ward uses very little tech and involves non specialist nurses to deliver care remotely – achieving huge bed savings and cost efficiencies.

Feedback from patients has been overwhelmingly positive for the hospital-level of care they are receiving at home, with 93 per cent saying they would recommend virtual wards.

Data will be presented from two randomised trials and two health economic evaluations, to share the proven benefits of a model that is used in multiple specialties including cardiology, surgery recovery and oncology.

This event will bring together clinicians, operational leaders, digital teams, patients, NHS partners and system leaders to share practical learning, celebrate success, and explore future opportunities for service transformation.
