Fantastic work happening within our Frailty and Respiratory Virtual Wards in UHMB @SLRapidResponse @uhmbt_react @UHMBTCommunity @FrailtyTeam
Virtual wards allow patients to get the care they need at home safely and conveniently, rather than being in hospital. Feedback Friday. @UHMBT

Virtual wards allow patients like Robert to receive care, monitoring and treatment in their own home, rather than going to hospital.
Thanks to the staff and patients at @NNUH for showing us around their virtual wards! Visit england.nhs.uk/virtual-wards for more information.

A new ‘Virtual Ward’ service provided by UHMBT has been praised by a Windermere couple! Roger and Patricia Bottomley have shared their experience after Patricia broke four toes in a fall at home in July.

For those worried about the new move towards hospital at home, listen to Bill and his wife Lorna. They sun it up very nicely!! @UKHaHSoc @DanLasserson @janey513
Hospital at Home was developed to provide care closer to home. We visited Bill and his wife Lorna to find out what the service has meant to them.
Supporting people in their own homes is key to delivering care that's fit for the future ▶️ ow.ly/G7Uk50JZXcx

Thank you to @DevereuxDeborah and the team at @AlfBarrow District nurses for the yummy lunch and listening to the updates regarding referring their patients into the @FrailtyHub #teamwork #community #NHS74

I really do think frailty hospital at home is a “game changer”. The patients we see really do seem the love it. When there’s a real alternative to hospital then giving patients the choice is the way to go!! @UKHaHSoc
Homes turned into ‘virtual hospitals’

Yesterday I wrote to @sajidjavid regarding the rising cost of fuel for nurses working in the community. @TheQNI offered to collate examples of good practice - such as employers paying forward - to enable the scale & spread of good practice by employers qni.org.uk/wp-content/upload…

Setting activity goals are a great way to get started with strengthening activity and stay on track.
Our #StrongerMyWay planner has been designed for patients to download, print, complete and repeat.

Better resourcing of unscheduled community services would provide safer, more responsive, high-value low-cost care - impactful read ⬇️ thanks @JennyKeaneNHS
Great piece on how resourcing community services can provide safer, more responsive high-value low-cost care - and prevent hospital admissions
Thaxs for sharing @Cgrimes3

Qualified District Nurses are the key clinicians who can support people to die at home, in dignity and in comfort. We must grow the District Nursing workforce to meet the growing needs of our ageing population.
Hundreds of families fear the death of their loved one wasn’t as comfortable or peaceful as possible. We need more support for people dying in their own homes. Stand with us. Discover more loom.ly/8XTzmYg

Watch the New Year message from @aaroncumminsNHS as he reminds the public that our hospitals remain under extreme pressure, and that you can help by making sure your loved ones get home as soon as they no longer need hospital care: youtu.be/be1jQ9bE-aA

NHSE told not to push guidance without the resources to support hospital discharge
‘Medically fit’ doesn’t necessarily mean a person can be simply discharged if they also have significant physical, functional, cognitive or social care needs
