Read the Irish Times article highlighting how Virtual Wards are transforming care across Ireland - safely bringing hospital-level treatment and monitoring into people’s homes for patients who who are suitable➡️irishtimes.com/health/2026/0…@IrishTimes#VirtualWards#DigitalForCare
Over the Christmas period, patients including Bernard Bolger were recovering at home while still receiving hospital-level care, daily clinical review and remote monitoring through Virtual Wards.
Virtual Wards show how technology is supporting compassionate, patient-centred care when and where it matters most.

All HSE regions can now offer a 'virtual ward' option to patients. This means that instead of staying in a hospital bed, eligible patients can receive acute, hospital-level care and constant monitoring from the comfort of their own sitting room.
Patients are given wearable devices and tablets that send their vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) directly to a dedicated team of nurses and doctors.
One patient on a virtual ward recently received a call from his medical team when his blood pressure suddenly spiked. The reason? He was watching the nail-biting Ireland v Hungary soccer match!
