We enabled the Physiotherapy department to purchase a NIPPY Clearway cough assistor device, to help patients who have an impaired ability to clear secretions for their respiratory tract. This fantastic new machine also helps with easing breathless-ness for an acutely breathless patient and is now being used to help the physiotherapy team to treat more patients in Intensive Care, Emergency, Surgical, Medical and Neurosciences wards.
