Welcome to the Virtual Ward website

The Virtual Ward is a place to share good practice between staff and people who use mental health services. The site is designed for all to access information about positive and innovative practice, to read supporting policy and to utilise the examples of training underpinning those examples. You will be able to adjust these to fit your local circumstances. Why not share your ideas and practices with us for others to adopt.
