DONATIONS MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Thank importance of quality end of life care support has recently been enhanced at the Health Service thanks to a generous donation by the Beaufort and Skipton Health Service Foundation.

Nigel Ponder (Foundation President) and Nick Shady (Foundation Director) recently visited the Health Service to view the Comfort Care Station, Lift Chair and Lightweight Wheelchairs purchased with the generous donation.

The Comfort Care Station is incredibly important for staff and families. We have been able to set up a station at each campus with all the items required, this includes a tape deck with music, aromatherapy, and all the needs for end of life care.

Ten lift chairs which are shared between Beaufort and Skipton sites have also been purchased as well as four lightweight wheelchairs, which are much easier to use to transport patients to appointments and are easier to pack into vehicles.

The Beaufort and Skipton Health Service Foundation Limited is an independent organisation that administers donations and sources funding for the benefit of the Health Service. The Health Service thanks the Foundation for their continued support to assist the Health Service.
