NHS England has published a new virtual wards operational framework, which sets out key requirements of a #VirtualWards service to ensure consistency across the NHS, helping maximise benefits for patients. Details here: england.nhs.uk/long-read/virt…

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.

Both 'young onset' dementia and 'early onset' dementia can be used to describe someone who’s experienced #dementia symptoms before the age of 65. So, what's the difference? 🤔 'Early onset' dementia can also refer to the early stages of dementia. Whereas ‘young onset’ dementia
