Care homes have been supplied tablets to remain in contact with their GP
MORE than 500 tablet devices have been supplied to care homes during the coronavirus pandemic.
Residents in Humber, Coast and Vale have remained connected to GPs during lockdown - after 537 devices were supplied to care homes through a digital programme.
Virtual GP consultations means healthcare can continue, decrease the exposure to coronavirus.
