We’re delighted there’s been such a positive response to this idea to help us keep in touch with relatives. Shout out to our wonderful matron Natalie Burling for coming up with the idea 🌟.
When relatives cannot visit their loved ones it is extremely important that our team keeps in touch. I was very proud to see this chart appear on the ward - anyone who calls ticks the box! What a good idea. Photo taken at morning handover.
