The NHS is looking at different ways to improve the care of patients while also tackling waiting lists
Thousands of people with heart failure in England can now be treated at home as the NHS continues to expand its use of virtual wards to free up hospital beds. Virtual wards allow patients to remain at home while receiving care from clinical staff, who use apps or wearable technology to monitor them remotely.
Professor Nick Linker, national clinical director for heart disease at NHS England, said: “It’s estimated there are over 900,000 people in the UK living with heart failure, many of whom will require specialist support and management if their condition deteriorates.
Earlier this month, NHS England said it had delivered on its ambition to roll out 10,000 virtual ward beds by the end of September. More than 240,000 patients have now been treated on virtual wards, it said, with national medical director Prof Sir Stephen Powis calling the programme “a huge leap forward” in the way patients are treated.
