title: Virtual children's ward brings the hospital into the home.
abstract: LEAD NURSE Zoe Tribble believes she manages a unique service. She oversees four other nurses in a team of outreach workers who deliver a 'virtual ward' service to babies and children in their own homes who would traditionally have had to stay in hospital. There are other teams that do a similar job, but none manage it from 7am-11pm every day of the year and can complete three visits a day to patients, Ms Tribble argues.
