Thanks, Rhian. Yes, so many people seem to have respiratory conditions at the moment. Apps such as Facetime are great for keeping in touch when face-to-face meetings are problematic.

Thanks, Mellissa. Technology can be challenging for older people who haven’t grown up with it, but thankfully there are plenty of options to choose from.

She isn’t on Facebook but can use What’s App ok. She’s not brilliant with tech though.

For work we use Teams which can be patchy!
