East of England Clinical Senate Virtual Ward Task and Finish Group Outcomes report

East of England Virtual Wards Outcomes Report (which provides a summary of the work of the Virtual Wards Task and Finish Group and a checklist for Clinical Senates to refer to as part of their Independent Clinical Reviews) has been published.

The report and checklist have been developed in response to an approach to the EoE Clinical Senate by the Regional Virtual Ward team to support their work.  Dr Martin Hawkings, Head of System Improvement – Virtual Wards, East of England Clinical Quality Directorate, NHS England gave a presentation to EoE Clinical Senate Council in June 2022.  The Virtual Wards Task and Finish group (a sub-group of the East of England Clinical Senate) was established and brought together opinion from clinicians and experts by experience to develop a template covering aspects of virtual ward proposals the Senate should consider when conducting a Clinical Review or potential Clinical Review.

The East of England Clinical Senate would like to thank the members of the Task and Finish group for their expert advice and support in developing the checklist and we hope you find this report helpful for future Clinical Reviews.
