Ileana Welte – more information

Following our note a week ago announcing the deeply distressing news about Ileana’s sudden death, we have received many tributes to her. We thought therefore that readers might also be interested in:

We are expecting a tribute shortly from Bosch to add to this, and also information on her memorial service, so please check back regularly.

In the meantime, in the words of Sylvia Christie of BWW, please do share if you feel able to – tributes to Ileana are proving a great comfort to her family.

Ileana Welte

– Many readers will be deeply saddened to know that Ileana Welte died of a heart attack last Wednesday whilst travelling on the Tube in London.

Many will know her from her long time working in Bosch in the UK, where she was particularly associated with the NHS Direct telehealth service, and more recently her management of the UK side of Big White Wall where she was doing a brilliant job driving the uptake of digital health in the NHS to help treat people with mental health problems.

She will be very sorely missed; her untimely death has come as a huge shock to many.

We will shortly be publishing a larger article with contributions from Bosch, Big White Wall and from ex NHS Direct colleagues – other contributions will be gratefully received. We will also publish news of her funeral/memorial services when received.
