Hywel Dda University Health Board provides healthcare services to a population of approximately 384,000 throughout Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.
It provides Acute, Primary, Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities services via General and Community Hospitals, Health Centres, GPs, Dentists, Pharmacists and Optometrists and other sites. Around 115,000 people now access their services each year.
In a hospital environment, continuous and stable mobile connectivity is imperative for staff and patients alike. Without access to mobile services, patients struggle to connect with loved ones to explain their situation, doctors struggle to connect with patients to help them, and the hospital staff struggle to communicate with each other at potentially critical moments. At Bronglais General Hospital, administrators needed to improve EE (a British cellular provider) mobile signal coverage in all areas of the existing and newly-built hospital wing. Boosting solutions from EE themselves failed to account for every dead zone and Wi-Fi calling proved ineffective time and time again. The CEL-FI QUATRA EVO was what they turned to next.
