Talk by Lucy Botting on 'Virtual wards' – 4th June 2008. 7-9pm

Pulborough Village Hall with doors opening at 6.30pm. Refreshments provided.

Virtual Wards mean an integrated approach to caring for patients at home. Patients will have one access point manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Nurses with varying levels of training, will receive further training to enhance their skills so that each nurse can perform more tasks than currently and ward team could have a mix of community matron, district nurses, community nurse, intensive care at home nursing team and health care assistants with the most appropriate person going into care for the patient.

Please come along to this event organised by the PPL.
