Each of the carvings were meant to represent the concept of “care, healing and touch.

A pioneering British Sign Language (BSL) system called ‘SignLive’ has been introduced at University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust to make services more accessible for patients, families, colleagues and anyone who uses BSL. If you are a British Sign Language (BSL) user, you can use SignLive to contact the Trust 24 hours a day. The SignLive service is now operating at Westmorland General Hospital in Kendal, Furness General Hospital in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary, Millom Hospital, Ulverston Community Health Centre and the Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe. SignLive is a free service that connects people to a qualified online BSL interpreter. The interpreter will relay the conversation between you and a member of staff. It can also be used for face-to-face conversations on site.
