Visitors to East Cheshire Hospice are enjoying the benefits of a new sophisticated Wi-Fi system.
The equipment was installed thanks to the generosity of a visitor who noticed a weak signal at the Millbank Drive facility.
* East Cheshire Hospice has a new Wi-Fi system.
He experienced the Wi-Fi problem while visiting his wife and used business contacts to secure a more modern wireless set-up.
Patients, families, carers and staff are taking advantage of the improvements.
Conor Stubbs, the Hospice’s Head of IT, said: “We’ve had excellent feedback from staff, patients and visitors who tell us that connection is reliable and fast across our site.
“It’s made a big impact on the patient and staff experience, allowing them to stay connected and seamlessly browse the web, stream and video call.
“Thank you to everyone involved for their generous support and hard work on this project which has made a big difference.
“Our old system was slowing down and didn’t meet Hospice needs, especially as we’ve expanded and grown as an organisation. New Wi-Fi was in the pipeline but was fast-tracked thanks to this kind offer.”
