Ward C4 purchases an incredibly beneficial ‘cuddle bed’ thanks to charitable funds!

Following a year of fundraising along with generous donations to the Dudley Group NHS Charity Georgina Ward charitable fund, the department has been able to purchase a £15,000 ‘cuddle bed’.  The cuddle bed is electronic and expands by the touch of a button to double width and will help the C4 ward in delivering palliative care.

The ability to be able to get into the same bed as your loved one and have a cuddle or offer comfort at the most tender of times is proving to be incredibly beneficial. The bed is fully certified for two people, giving patients and carers peace of mind that not only is it helping to provide care, but it is also doing it safely.

Thank you to Montcalm International who allowed the ward to trial the bed for two weeks to ensure the equipment meets the needs of patients. We are very pleased that the bed has arrived in the Trust, we hope that this will make a difference to patients and their families.
