How we provide hospital-level care in the comfort of your own home

Hospital at home provides hospital-level care but in the comfort of your own home. This means you may avoid going into hospital or return home more quickly for further treatment following a hospital stay. This is better for you because evidence shows that patients have better outcomes when they are in their own homes. Here at Northumbria, if you are a patient of our virtual ward, you can expect the same high-quality care as we provide in our hospitals. Various healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses, may visit you at your home to provide treatments, carry out tests and assessments, or check on your condition. You may also have online or telephone appointments and consultations. In certain cases, you may be given special equipment so that you can be monitored remotely by our teams. Our virtual ward also helps us to provide personalised care and support patient choice. If you are a patient, we will agree a plan for your care with you. Our community teams have been working in people’s own homes for many years so are experts at caring for you in this way. Our virtual ward means they are also supported by specialists from our hospital teams to ensure all aspects of your care are covered.
