We are delighted that Lisa Underwood, Ward 111 Matron, has confirmed the new ward nebuliser equipment is now in service. This helps neck surgery patients with a tracheotomy by providing a stream of warmed, moist air rather than the ambient cool, dry air. The equipment is typically used for around three days at the beginning of the post operative healing process and is a great benefit. Headcases provided £500.00 towards the £2500.00 cost of the equipment.
We have also provided the ward with a total of four portable nebulisers. These are available for patients to take home to aid their recovery. Our fundraising goes directly into equipment like this to benefit patients.
