Joint statement from the UK Hospital at Home Society (H@H), the British Geriatrics Society (BGS) and the Royal College of Physicians (RCP): ‘Hospital at Home’ not ‘virtual wards’

The H@H, the BGS and the RCP all believe that there is a need to use terminology that represents the care delivered and the skills required to provide hospital-level care at home. The term ‘virtual wards’ does not reflect the level of care and skill required, nor does it provide clarity to patients. We believe it is crucial that the appropriate terminology ‘Hospital at Home’ is formally adopted going forward.
