Patient scores trip to Anfield

Team LUHFT went beyond their daily care duties to take 21-year-old Lewis Powel, one of our ventilation patients, to watch Liverpool FC at Anfield.

Lewis has been under our care since April 2022 and has a genetic disorder causing progressive muscle degeneration. Thanks to help from Liverpool Disabled Supporters Association, our Ventilation Inpatient Centre got tickets for Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Leicester City in the Premier League.

Lewis’s mum, Sara, said:

“I can’t thank the hospital staff enough. Seeing a smile on Lewis’s face was the best feeling. It has proved to him that there is a life after having a tracheostomy inserted. It was a day our family will never forget.”
