Local man, Keir Williams, has donated a staggering £1,800 to the InS:PIRE
programme in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at University Hospital Crosshouse.
Keir raised the funds after completing the Yorkshire Marathon last October and
chose the InS:PIRE programme at University Hospital Crosshouse to say thank you
for what the programme has done for his family and wanted to help other families in
similar situations.
The InS:PIRE programme supports those who have spent time in ICU and gives
them the tools to move forward with their lives. InS:PIRE promotes recovery in all
three aspects (physical, mental and social) through a combination of medical,
nursing, physiotherapy, psychological, pharmacy and social support.
Peter O’Brien, Consultant Anaesthetist and Critical Care adds:
“After a stay in ICU, patients and their families can experience physical, psychological and social issues. The InS:PIRE programme provides the stepping stones to allow patients and their families to maximise their recovery.
“On behalf of the InS:PIRE programme team, I want to congratulate and thank Keir
for this very kind donation which will go towards expanding the service, so that more
patients can benefit from the programme.”
