Speakers:

The first UK Hospital at Home Society webinar of 2025 will use the New Year, and new quarter century, to look forward to where Hospital at Home practice could go in the future. It will particularly focus on some of the innovative practices that are being used by HaH clinicians, which may increase in popularity and spread as they are taken up by more HaH teams in future, and will discuss other assessments and interventions that have potential to be adapted to use in the HaH environment.
This webinar will begin with a presentation, and live demonstration of POCUS of the abdomen, followed by time for questions and discussion.
