More virtual beds are to be installed in London homes to tackle rising demands for urgent care this winter as part of a pilot scheme.
The Virtual Ward service, which facilitates care at home for patients who would otherwise require hospital treatment, will now have 20 ‘beds’ available, up from the eight it already had. It will also be adding 20 remote monitoring virtual beds over the coming weeks.
