Virtual Wards

Joining Dr Daryl Freeman (PCRS Executive Committee Member, Associate Clinical Director with Norfolk Community Health and Care, and Respiratory ICB Lead for Norfolk and Waveney) on this episode of the PCRS Podcast is Professor Mike Crooks (Professor of Respiratory Medicine at Hull York Medical School and Hull University Teaching Hospitals with particular interest in airways disease).

Mike leads the local respiratory virtual wards covering Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire as part of a multi disciplinary team and Daryl's virtual ward covers all of Norfolk and Waveney.
Together they discuss how their respective virtual wards operate and share the challenges that they have both experienced in setting them up.

Throughout the podcast they refer to some great resources in order to help you better understand virtual wards and the positive impact they can have, including:
