British Geriatrics Society UK Hospital at Home Society Royal College of Physicians have released a joint statement in support of the term #HospitalatHome instead of #VirtualWard.

"Dr Adenwalla is a great example of someone wholly committed to improving care for his older patients. I am delighted we can reward his significant contribution to older people’s healthcare in Wales with this award." - BGS President Adam Gordon MBE bgs.org.uk/policy-and-med…
It’s been a real privilege to work with Firdaus Adenwalla on the UK Hospital at Home Society committee. He has spent years developing acute medical care at home in Wales with a multidisciplinary team. Wonderful to see this recognised by British Geriatrics Society
