In this session, we’ll take a closer look at virtual wards in practice, exploring different approaches and learnings, as well as considering the future of virtual wards and the potential for emerging technologies to play an even bigger role.

With the help of our panel of experts, we’ll discuss a range of approaches to the virtual ward concept, including examples of best practice, challenges, failures and successes.

What’s more, we’ll look to the future of virtual wards, debating the potential of emerging technologies such as AI and machine learning to make an impact across workforce, patient care, operational efficiency, capacity, and more.
