Feedback… “A very good service. It made me confident within my job so

I could do the best I can for our residents. This service taken the pressure off us as we have access quickly to a

health professional.”

“The Doctor was fantastic when one of our dementia patients fell and hurt herself. I would have called an ambulance and she

would have endured an A&E visit which would have terrified her. Your consultant saved her from

this and reassured me that the cut was superficial and she was fine…”

“ The Telehealth Hub came into its own last winter when snow and ice brought traffic to a halt. My Husband’s condition deteriorated suddenly and having visual, instant contact with the team was very reassuring. A wonderful

service.

“I have only one word to describe Telehealth –

excellent.”
