Warrington palliative virtual ward -18months on
The Warrington Palliative Virtual Ward pilot commenced in April 2022 and was the first national community Palliative Virtual Ward. This programme is aligned with NHS England’s national ambition for Integrated Care Systems to work towards the comprehensive development of virtual ward beds.

Digital legacy: Is it just as important as physical belongings?
Digital legacy refers to the online content available about someone following their death, which may include social media profiles, photos, blogs or gaming profiles. Some patients may find it comforting that their digital content remains online, and those bereaved may view it as a way to continue bonds with the deceased person. Despite its growing relevance, there is limited evidence worldwide around the experiences of palliative care professionals in supporting patients to manage their digital legacy. This session will outline some of the findings from our recent research in this area, whilst providing areas for future consideration in relation to digital legacy.
