You can’t knit care for older people out of thin air- ‘virtual’ does not of itself replace physical care
Only 51 trusts have so far set up virtual wards (VW)
System wide there are 84 VWs but only 65 reporting activity
7/42 ICSs don’t yet have VWs

Thank you for sharing your observations. Surely this is a safeguarding concern?
Replying to @hydrationlead @runnermandoc
I’m currently placed on an acute eldercare ward. Not sure there’s not one patient admitted due to fall without “long lie” suffixing it.
Thank you for your response @runnermandoc - unfortunately the risk of ‘very’ long lies will become the norm unless the combined systems can find a way of freeing up ambulances waiting to off load at ED. Meanwhile the fallen vulnerable must wait for hours ..and hours on the floor
Replying to @hydrationlead @GeriSoc
Well certainly lying on the floor following a fall is not good for anyone, but especially older people
Long lie after a fall is strongly associated with serious injuries, admission to hospital, and subsequent moves into long term care

We really need to stop making it so hard for NHS staff to go to work
A huge number of NHS workers have to cope with inadequate public transport, insufficient and unsafe parking for cars and bikes, and exorbitant costs
Something needs to be done urgently - please RT if you agree
A similar scenario: 8 weeks ago a friend who lives in a #Cornish residential home fell at 7pm. Care staff couldn’t get her up so was left on the floor until ambulance arrived at 7am! Where is the accountability for such failing services? @NHSKernow @HWCornwall @swasFT #frailty
