The document discusses the implementation of a Virtual Fracture Clinic (VFC) model at Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust (BSUH) as an alternative to the traditional new patient fracture clinic model. Some key issues with the traditional model included 45% of patients needing time off work for appointments and only 44% being discharged at their first appointment. The VFC aims to 1) bring treatment to patients' homes to improve experience, 2) ensure management decisions are made by orthopaedic consultants, 3) provide standardized evidence-based treatment, and 4) reduce outpatient appointments. The VFC evaluation found improvements in several areas compared to the traditional model.
