KEIGHLEY Soroptimist Heather Wilson spoke to colleagues – via Zoom – about Airedale Hospital’s Gold Line and telemedicine services.
She said Gold Line was a new, dedicated 24/7 telephone service for people across Airedale, Wharfedale, Craven and Bradford who may be in their last year of life and their families. It has meant more people have been able to die in their place of choice, usually home.
The telemedicine service is based in the hospital’s digital care hub.
It provides secure video connections to nursing and residential homes across the UK.
