Tracy continued: “We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported Jersey Stroke Support and made this donation possible. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute to the excellent work of the team on Samares Ward.”
Director of Clinical Services for HCS, Claire Thompson, said: “We are immensely grateful to Jersey Stroke Support and their community of donors for making the OM Interactive Projection System donation possible.
“This equipment offers our rehabilitation patient’s the ability to engage in social activities that promote cognitive thought, physical and emotional wellbeing. It can be used on a 1:1 basis or in a team/group activity, thus promoting socialisation, conversation, and reminiscence.
“It is a welcomed addition to the rehabilitation unit and we thank Jersey Stroke Support for their continued dedication towards supporting stroke patients and their families on the Island.”
