Description:
New technology from Aira is set to give visual assistance to blind and partially sighted patients and support them to attend hospital eye appointments.
 
The 6-month trial, launched today, will support patients attending appointments at Moorfields Eye Hospital. It is funded by Thomas Pocklington Trust and will be free of charge for blind and partially sighted people to use.
 
It will link visually impaired patients attending appointments at the hospital’s City Road site to a network of trained, professional agents who will be able to help them navigate to and around the hospital. 

Steven Scott chats to Charles Colquhoun, Chief Executive Officer at TPT, and RNIB's Alex Wallis about the news.
