Improving the Effectiveness and Safety of Virtual Clinics & Wards

Fri, 28 Nov 2025

44 Hallam Street, London, OR Virtual, Online

Follow the conference on X #NHSVirtualClinics

This conference will enable you to realise the full potential of virtual clinics and wards through innovative strategies, technologies and practical case examples. The conference will discuss virtual clinics and how the use of digital consultations, triage and patient management and follow up can transform your service whilst ensuring patient safety, and the role of virtual wards in managing patients in their own homes. The conference will discuss the use of AI and the integration of patient monitoring devices to improve patient care and also discuss difficult issues such as information governance, group consultations, safeguarding, data and security.

The ongoing adoption of virtual clinics and wards is critical to meet growing demands for healthcare whilst freeing up hospital resources and reducing waiting times.

“Virtual wards, also known as Hospital at Home, are a safe and efficient alternative to bedded care. Using technology and face-to-face care, they offer patients who would otherwise be in hospital the choice of receiving the treatment they need in their own home, either preventing them from being admitted to hospital or allowing them to be discharged from hospital sooner…There is growing evidence that when all core components of these services are delivered at scale for appropriate patients, they provide a better patient experience; more than 99% of patients on virtual wards in one study said they would recommend them.”

Getting it right first time (GIRFT) 2024

“Virtual wards provide personalised care and choice for patients, by combining face-to-face provision and technology to allow hospital-level care. They can provide an alternative to admission or facilitate earlier discharge from hospital and have been identified as a key ambition in the ‘Delivery plan for recovering urgent and emergency care services’ published by NHS England”
