Rebecca is currently the consultant nurse overseeing the virtual health hub at Hampshire Hospitals. This supports three services to ensure that patients are safely managed at home or supported and reviewed in secondary care. The first service is the telemedicine service which supports 260 care homes across Hampshire. This is to support staff and carers with acute patient deterioration to ensure that residents are reviewed in a timely manner and escalated when required. The second service is the clinical communication centre. This supports their primary care and community colleagues with acute medical advice and admissions into secondary care and ensures that patients are seen at the right time, place and by the right clinician. The last service is their virtual wards to support admission avoidance and reduce inpatient length of stay. Rebecca and colleagues are currently managing eight virtual wards across different specialities. The most recent addition is the complex wound virtual ward. This supports patients in the community to remain medically well and makes sure that they have tissue viability and surgical support through secondary care to manage their care at home.

Before this role, Rebecca has had a wide range of experience from working in the community, within the emergency department and critical care.

I my spare time I love to go on long dog walks, outdoor swimming and travel as much as possible.
