High-speed internet is no longer a luxury for the technologically savvy and is fast becoming a necessity for qualified and student health workers. An essential tool in aiding study and research, internet based technologies can offer a vital connection for overseas workers to their homeland and families, and a data networked infrastructure can even provide digital TV services.
The connection costs to the tenants can even be spread out and included in their monthly room rent, allowing for fees of as little as £150 a year. They can even choose to connect for as little as one month, without being penalised.
Many of the tenants in NHS and HA provided accommodation facilities are from overseas and often do not have access to even a telephone in order to make contact with their families at home.
By providing a high-speed internet connection, tenants can even keep up to date on local events in their own country as well as remain informed of events closer to home and within their Trust.
