UK fund seeks urgent donations to support telehealth patients with LTCs

Steve Hards

What are people with long term conditions (LTCs), or patients after hospital discharge, to do if they wish to be monitored by a telehealth system but if they are unable to obtain it [yet!] via their local NHS or they cannot afford to pay for services privately? Private consultant cardiologist Lance Forbat who uses Docobo telehealth equipment has come up with a solution – a charitable fund that will subsidise their monitoring. Why urgent? He is aware of some patients in this position at the moment and wishes to move things along quickly. He’s aiming for an initial £150,000 and donations can be made now, via his website: IHS(Medical)Ltd (Just click on one of the Donate buttons, enter the amount you wish to donate, and click ‘Update totals’.)
