Feedback Patients/Carers 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. Care homes A very good service. It made me feel confident within my job so I could do the best I can for our residents. This service takes the pressure off us as we have access quickly to a health professional I only have one word to describe [the] Telehealth [Hub] excellent. Telemedicine became our lifeline what a wonderful piece of equipment! At the press of a button we could have face-to-face contact with a medical team, which is so important for both a patient and carer, and that helped to keep Geoff s spirits high 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... Definitely has reduced admission rates. Telemedicine is an asset to the home with benefits Out Of Hours and weekends
