The Evelina London Children's Hospital's Hospital at Home service has been effective in reducing the need for hospital admissions, saving 11,000 bed days over four years. Nurses visit children at home to provide necessary treatments, which allows 4,427 children to avoid or shorten hospital stays. Consultant Dr. Ronny Cheung advocates for the service's wider implementation, citing its safety and effectiveness. Families like that of Debra Mansi experience improved care, as seen in her son Gui's significant reduction in hospital time since using the service.
Dr Ronny Cheung emphasized, 'The idea is to keep children out of hospital unless they absolutely have to be there,' highlighting the serviceâs focus on at-home care.
Debra Mansi described her experience, stating, 'When he was younger, I'd need to take him to hospital, and then he could be there for a month...Now with the Hospital at Home team, if Gui needs anything...'
