About The Webinar
On the NHS75 anniversary, NHSE announced that paediatrics will be the next priority pathway for the rollout of virtual wards. With over 350,000 children in the queue for treatment, capacity pressures continue to mount for paediatric teams. The stage is set for paediatric virtual wards to address these pressures head-on, and emerging evidence is promising. Pilot sites have demonstrated paediatric virtual wards can:

Zoe Tribble
Children's Nurse
Zoe is a registered Children’s Nurse with significant community nursing training and experience.
Born and raised in London, Zoe cut her teeth in community children’s nursing in Lewisham before
successfully setting up the first Children’s Hospital @ Home (H@H) team in London at King’s College
Hospital in early 2014. The service was provided by Healthcare at Home (formerly Medihome), a
private healthcare provider. Zoe moved to Islington to manage the Children’s Community Nursing
Team (CCNT) and H@H team there in 2016. It soon became apparent that there were an increasing
number of H@H teams being established around London and there was a need to develop a way to
share ideas and processes to help support and develop services. As a result, Zoe started the Pan
London Children’s H@H forum. The first meeting was in May 2017 with a membership of 5 teams. In
2023, the membership has now grown to over 100 members and has been extended to include
teams around the UK. The forum meets bi-annually for peer support, learning and to share the great
work that teams are doing across the country.
Zoe is currently Senior Nurse for Integrated Paediatrics at the Royal London Hospital and has helped
develop a new H@H team for children living in Tower Hamlets which has since expanded to include
the neighbouring boroughs of Newham and Waltham Forest. Zoe’s ambition is to facilitate children’s
H@H services throughout the UK and beyond, ensuring that H@H becomes the norm, not the
exception.
