Coronavirus patients have called a new virtual ward service a game changer after receiving remote care from the comfort of their homes.
The Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital is treating 11 Covid-19 patients on the ward, which sees staff carry out virtual ward rounds, including daily phone or video calls and advice to patients through remote temperature, pulse, blood pressure and oxygen saturation levels.
If necessary, patients will be asked to come to the hospital for treatments such as Dexamethasone and anticoagulants, and they are given contact numbers so they can seek advice should they need it.
