Volunteers from the Friends at Broomfield are pictured here taking a look at the Mobile Phone charging station that has been installed in A&E.

The charging station was presented to A&E and allows patients, visitors and staff to charge their mobile phones ‘free of charge’ whilst they are visiting the department. 

At a cost of £1,836 donated by the Friends … we hope that the charging station will relieve a small level of patients’ stress whilst in A&E in helping them to stay in urgent contact with their family and friends.
