Doccla Expands Virtual Respiratory Care Through Lewisham NHS Partnership

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

The company’s LinkedIn post highlights that Virtual Plus+ combines remote monitoring with support from Doccla’s own clinical team, aiming to deliver proactive management, patient education, and early intervention. The initiative is framed around reducing avoidable hospital admissions and emergency attendances while enabling more patients to manage their conditions at home.

The post suggests that this model extends virtual ward principles into longer-term community care for high-need respiratory patients. A quoted comment from an NHS trust executive links the initiative to the NHS 10‑Year Health Plan and emphasizes a shift from reactive to proactive care, with the potential to relieve pressure on hospitals.

For investors, the development points to Doccla’s growing integration with U.K. National Health Service structures and commissioning bodies, which may support recurring revenue streams and strengthen its position in the virtual and remote care market. If the program demonstrates measurable reductions in hospital utilization, it could enhance Doccla’s value proposition to other health systems and support future expansion and contract wins.
