Nottinghamshire Integrated care system, aim to deliver this through a Nottinghamshire wide provider collaborative, incorporating Sherwood Forest Hospitals, Nottingham University Hospitals, Doncaster & Bassetlaw Hospital, Nottinghamshire Healthcare and City Care to deliver an ambition of beds across the Nottinghamshire by Dec 2023.

Virtual wards allow patients to receive care, remote monitoring and treatment they need in their own home, safely and conveniently rather than in hospital.
