We developed and delivered an innovative follow-up service for home users of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) machines to support home NIV delivery and improve cost-effectiveness and sustainability during the COVID-19 pandemic. Between Feb 2019 and November 2020, 92 post-acute patients were issued with home NIV; 25 (27%) out of the 92 patients had unused NIV machines successfully retrieved. This project demonstrates that what is good for the patient can be good for the planet and good for the pocket,
