Doccla Expands Virtual Respiratory Care Through Lewisham NHS Collaboration

According to a recent LinkedIn post from Doccla, the company is involved in deploying a new Virtual Plus+ service for residents in Lewisham living with COPD and asthma. The post indicates that the initiative is being delivered in collaboration with the South East London Integrated Care System’s Lewisham Place team and commissioned by the South East London Integrated Care Board.

The company’s LinkedIn post highlights that Virtual Plus+ combines remote monitoring technology with Doccla’s own clinical team to provide proactive management, patient education, and early intervention. The service is positioned as an extension of virtual ward principles into longer‑term community care, with an objective of reducing avoidable hospital admissions and emergency department attendances.

The post cites commentary from a senior executive at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust suggesting that Virtual Plus+ could support a shift from reactive care to proactive at‑home support, aligning with the NHS 10‑Year Health Plan. If the program demonstrates measurable reductions in hospital pressure and improved patient outcomes, it may strengthen Doccla’s value proposition to U.K. health commissioners and support future contract wins.

For investors, this development suggests traction for Doccla within the NHS ecosystem and potential for recurring revenue streams tied to long‑term virtual care services. Successful execution and demonstrable cost savings for commissioners could enhance Doccla’s competitive position in the remote monitoring and virtual ward market, though financial terms and scale of the contract are not disclosed in the post.
