An innovative and ambitious Bradford hospitals’ project aimed at improving care of the elderly has won a major national award.
The Bradford Elderly Care Virtual Ward was named a winner in the ‘Improving Value in the Care of Frail Older Patients’ category at the Health Service Journal (HSJ) Value in Healthcare Awards.
The Bradford Elderly Care Virtual Ward is aimed at simultaneously moving care closer to home, while enabling more patient-centred care.
It provides a single point of access for GPs, staff in the community and other health and social care professionals to refer patients from the Bradford district into intermediate care.
This includes short-term hospital beds and services that give patients support to stay in their own homes, rather than being admitted to hospital.
