Home First: How to help patients understand what a 'virtual ward' actually is
Tuesday 8th November 2022 | 1 - 2 pm
LIVE WEBINAR
Does the term 'virtual ward' make patients feel less positive and engaged with their care?
According to our latest research, 53% of people would prefer to have their health monitored from home instead of in hospital - but that positivity almost halves when the phrase 'virtual ward' is used.
Patient engagement and adoption is crucial to the long-term success of virtual wards. But how can they embrace something they don’t understand? In this webinar, we’ll discuss how to better communicate with patients about the future of their care.
We’ll share the full results from our recent survey of over 2,000 adults, combined with the real experiences of frontline NHS clinicians.
The aim? To use data and anecdotal stories to explore why language around virtual wards matters, and how small swaps could boost engagement and adoption.
