THE Friends of York Hospital have delivered ten new heart monitors to staff in the cardio-respiratory department in Wigginton Road.
The Friends spent £14,950 on the devices which will now enable outpatients to be monitored for longer and also assist in the diagnosis of cardiac conditions. It could cut waiting times by up to two weeks.
Jane Allen, senior chief cardiac physiologist, said: “These monitors will mean a significant reduction in waiting times for patients.
“We would like to thank the Friends of York Hospital for their generous donation.”
Handing over the monitors, Nick Winning, chairman of the Friends, said: “As a charity we continue to raise funds to provide much needed equipment and resources across York Hospitals and we are very grateful for the support we receive.”
