Virtual Acute Care Unit (VACU)
Hospital-level care in the comfort of your home
Our Innovative Virtual Ward pathways provide patients with hospital care in the comfort of their own home. After initial care on the Virtual Acute Care Unit (VACU), patients are carefully monitored at home remotely by the Virtual Ward team using state-of-art medical equipment and regular video or telephone calls with clinicians. Patients can also call the team directly if they have any concerns or questions.
OPEN: 8am-8pm, 7 days a week
