Send messages to loved ones without personal devices

Diane Young (Patient Involvement and Volunteer Lead) from The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust talked to colleagues at a recent Helpforce Networking Check-in about how they were using WithYou to help families and friends send messages and songs to loved ones in hospital.

WithYou is a simple way for friends and families to create a music and voice message compilation for people in hospitals or care settings.

Following trials in critical care and ICU, Trigger have developed an easy to use digital service which means that people at home can contribute to a playlist that can be played to patients at any time.

Best results and take-up are in ICU, palliative care and stroke wards around the country.

The service is FREE.
