Karen Holmes
"My name is Karen Holmes. Deputy manager at Appletree Court Care Home. I applied to become a Whzan Champion as the project has greats benefits both residents and staff in our homes. The box enables a smooth process in the event of a resident becoming unwell. Historically we wrote vitals on a piece of paper, had to calculate NEWS The box saves us time by automatically recording the readings and calculating the NEWS. This allows the staff member to act accordingly. The information is readily available for the support team and can also be printed off quickly should the resident need treatment at the A&E."
Mumuni Zoure
"Hello, I am Mumuni Zoure, The registered manager for Murrayfield Care Home, a 74-bed nursing home in Edmonton, North London. The nursing home is part of the Four Seasons Healthcare Group and has been using the Whzan remote monitoring system since September 2021. Having seen the benefits of using the Whzan blue box to both residents and staff in my current work setting, which is a nursing home, I fell I have an obligation to support other colleague home managers who are not using the blue box to start ‘the Whzan journey’. For those managers who are already on the journey, I would like to make their ‘Whzan journey’ a less cumbersome and more pleasurable experience in supporting people with long term conditions and helping to improve resource management and save time delivering safer, quality care."

Davidson
"Hello, my name is Davidson, and I am a nurse and operations manager of two homes in Enfield. One of my homes was one of the first adopters of Whzan in NCL. The kit is easy to use, and all staff can use and be upskilled to benefit the residents. The reason I wanted to be a champion is so others can have the opportunity to use in their homes and see the benefits and I would like to help this happen. I am keen to tell my story to others."

I am delighted to have been chosen to be a Whzan champion I feel passionate about being able to support frontline Carers to be able to positively intervene at an early stage and obtain medical treatment, for residents or tenants in their care using the Whzan blue box. The use of using the telehealth Whzan system for me as a positive step in the right direction for our industry as it will boost the recognition of Carers, but also help professionalise their status and encourage many more people to consider this as a worthy profession."
