The new hi-tech telephone system at Walsgrave hospital, Coventry, captured in this nostalgic print from Memory Lane Prints. Taken on the 18th of August 1988, it showcases the advancements made in communication technology during the 1980s within the healthcare sector. In this image, we see three dedicated switchboard operators - Suzanne Miles on the left, Jeanne Ward opposite her, and Valerie Ronci. They are at the forefront of managing incoming calls and connecting patients with their loved ones or directing urgent messages to medical staff. The introduction of this state-of-the-art telephone system revolutionized communication within Walsgrave hospital. It streamlined operations by allowing faster and more efficient connections between different departments and external callers. This advancement undoubtedly played a crucial role in enhancing patient care and overall efficiency within the hospital.
