Virtual hospitals

Virtual hospitals

Virtual care is transforming the NHS. Our digital healthcare consulting team partners with you to design, deliver and evaluate virtual hospital programmes, helping you unlock new models of care for patients and clinicians.

What are Virtual Hospitals ?

Virtual Hospitals enable the NHS to deliver the right care, in the right place, at the right time, keeping people healthier for longer and supporting patients at home or in the community. There is a great opportunity to unlock untapped capacity in the clinical workforce to support the reduction in elective waiting times and further release capacity in the physical health system.

We help the NHS discover, develop and embed the best digital health solutions to bring your vision of virtual care delivery, including:

  • Shaping your virtual care strategy and approach
  • Using data and analytics to identify which care pathways are best suited for virtual delivery
  • Designing and implementing operating models across investment, workforce, technology, user experience, privacy and security
  • Co-designing the model of care and the patient/clinician experience
  • Monitoring outcomes for actionable insights

We bring together people and technology to help you create a unified, modern NHS. With the right strategy and execution, virtual and in-person care combines for a more accessible, equitable experience for patients, carers and clinicians alike.
