Helping to reduce hospital admissions in Worthing and Brighton

GoodOaks Homecare Sussex South is leading the way as the first homecare provider in the Worthing and Brighton area to use the innovative Blue Box technology - reinforcing its position as a forward-thinking provider of high-quality, preventative homecare.

Used widely by the NHS, the Blue Box connects with medical devices to monitor key health indicators such as oxygen levels, heart rate, and blood pressure. It automatically calculates a NEWS2 score (National Early Warning Score) to assess health risks like sepsis, UTIs, or respiratory issues - ensuring early action can be taken.

“We’re excited to bring this NHS-grade technology free of charge to our clients and the wider public. Our team will be able to offer quick, accurate health monitoring that keeps keep our clients well and safe in their own homes,” said Rebecca Drew, Director of GoodOaks Sussex South. “We are investing in our community's health and that means a lot to us.”

As part of its launch, GoodOaks Sussex South will be offering free Digital Health Checks (DHCs) to members of the public at its office. These quick, non-invasive checks will help identify potential health concerns early.

Additionally, the Sussex South team is working with the Local Companies to offer on-site workplace health checks, helping employers support staff wellbeing. They are asking local companies to contact them to arrange for workplace assessments, for more information on this initiative call 01903 629270.
