Helping patients to stay connected to loved ones

Posted on: 6 April 2020

As visiting at our hospitals is currently suspended, we want to do everything we can to keep our patients connected with their loved ones. Wherever possible, we will be using technology to allow video messaging between patients and their families and friends.

We are also encouraging relatives to leave a message on the Trust website which will be passed on to patients across our hospitals by the Patient Experience team.

Paul Jebb, Associate Director of Nursing at UHMBT, said:

"We know when someone is in hospital, having contact with loved ones and friends is all part of the recovery process. Here at UHMBT, we have set up an online messaging service so you can pass messages to those who are in hospital, and we will ensure that the message is passed on so that your relative or friend knows that you are thinking of them at this time."
