The Challenge
The COVID-19 pandemic prevented visits from family, visits from the therapy dog and prevented the advocate coming in the ward.
The Change
Health board charities organised iPads for each ward, occupational therapy team arranged a sign in/out system with instructions on how to ‘wipe’ the iPad of personal data between use.
The Impact
Patients have used the iPad to communicate with loved ones, theiratients have used the iPad to communicate with loved ones, their advocate (IMHA), watch personalised videos from our therapy dog Asha as well as using it to engage in zoom yoga.
