A Ward Host scheme is enabling 67 students from Tresham College to support busy Kettering General Hospital staff during the Covid pandemic.
The students, aged 16-35, help staff with patients at mealtimes, make drinks, chat with patients and help them with schemes like Virtual Visiting – where patients use KGH computer tablets to contact relatives. *(visiting is currently suspended at the hospital except in exceptional cases such as end of life care)
