North Cumbria NHS works to keep patients and families connected
North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust’s Keeping Patients Connected project
While hospital visiting remains suspended due to COVID-19 restrictions, north Cumbria’s NHS trust is working to keep patients and their families connected.
New volunteers have recently been recruited to the âKeeping Patients Connectedâ project and the North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust is encouraging more people to apply to become a volunteer. The project aims to facilitate patients having virtual visits with their families and friends using iPads.
Nicole Cottingham, volunteer coordinator for Keeping Patients Connected, said: âThe project aims to help our patients and their families but also we hope it will help take the pressure off busy ward staff.
