The National Health Service (NHS) has a number of sub-acute services that have developed in recent years from the guidance of NHS white papers such as the NHS Long term plan and NHS five year forward view (2014), which recommend for NHS trusts to deliver more care and services closer to a person's home rather than in acute hospitals.

As pressure on emergency departments across the UK grows, new care models will be pivotal in delivering and relieving some of these pressures by diverting work away from the hospital and into the community through the 2-hour Urgent Community Response, OPAT service and virtual ward offers.

In Cheshire West, the 'Hospital at Home' service will expand its offer of with the implementation of virtual wards allowing patients to get the care they need at home safely and conveniently, rather than being in hospital.

The NHS is increasingly introducing virtual wards to support people at the place they call home, including care homes.

The Hospital at Home workforce fits the NHS model well in supporting hospital level care at home; experienced General Practitioners, advanced clinical practitioners with prescribing rights, registered therapists / nurses and support workers offer a 7-day service that runs from 8am-8pm.
