Watch: New plan to solve NHS backlog is a problem waiting to happen?

What ever happened to those 40 new hospitals?

How to slow down the crippling waiting times in the NHS and the 40 new hospitals that never quite arrived after Johnson, is a question we all want an answer to.

Well, today the health department published a plan for up to 50,000 patients per month to be treated in ‘virtual wards.

In a news release it says: The NHS has already rolled out virtual wards – treating patients from the comfort of their own homes – with growing evidence that these are a safe and efficient alternative to hospital care, particularly for frail patients.

“These see patients supported by clinicians to recover in the comfort of their own home, rather than in hospital – and has increased the number of patients that can be cared for in this way by 7,000, a 50% increase since last summer. Another 3,000 ‘hospital at home’ beds will be created before next winter and the plan will include an ambition to see up to 50,000 people supported a month.”

The new strategy aims to keep people away from busy hospitals and instead see them treated at home on “virtual wards”, where they will be monitored at home by doctors using video and other technology.

📱👨‍⚕️ Virtual wards provide hospital care at home using technology & advice from health professionals to help you recover more quickly in more comfort.

Patients are reviewed daily by the clinical team who may visit them at home or use video technology to monitor and check how they are recovering.

Reactions

1.

Does a personal bedroom count as a virtual ward to recover more quickly in more comfort? Does it become one of 40 new built hospitals?

Puts a huge amount of pressure on unpaid, family carers.

3.

Home care is not suited to remote monitoring in a lot of situations. It is dehumanising and disconnected.

— Tessa (@missiemaisie) January 30, 2023

4.

There are 133,400 vacancies in NHS & not enough beds.

So govt announce virtual wards (elderly ppl to be examined by iPad & looked after at home by imaginary medics) and prevent students from being able to become doctors. https://t.co/Ih33nzZnXK
