Glan Clwyd Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU) has received a donation of iPads to help patients stay connected with their families.
Visiting at all North Wales hospitals was suspended last week to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Natalie Moore, from Flint, took this opportunity to start a local campaign through social media to appeal for unused iPads to donate to the ICU.
She said: “My great aunty Vicky was taken into hospital and after her first surgery she was placed in ICU.
“She needed a further operation which prolonged her stay on the ward and this allowed us to build a relationship with the staff.
“The team were fantastic and were very good at keeping us informed of her progress while she was there.
“When I heard visiting had been suspended at the hospitals I wanted to help in any way I could as I know how important it is for patients to keep in touch with their families.”
