The requirement is for a Virtual Ward for Lewisham.
Core functions and components:
- Provide 'step-up' care, where a patient becomes acutely unwell and is offered the choice between being treated at home or in hospital. Patients are typically referred directly from their usual place of residence, General Practitioner, 111 and can be admitted from sources via the LGT Urgent Community Response single point of access (SPoA), same day emergency care (SDEC) or Emergency Department.
- Provide 'step-down' care, where a virtual ward can facilitate an earlier discharge or transfer from an inpatient ward, enabling individuals who are not medically optimised for discharge but stable and appropriate to continue to receive medical treatment, oversight, and diagnostics within their own environment.
