Our Organ and Tissue Donation Committee funded the project which was led by the staff on the unit. Some of the painting was carried out by our Estates Team with the wall art installed by Hospital Art Studio. In all the work took approximately one month to complete.
Anita Bowman, Senior Audit Sister for Critical Care who was involved with the project, said: “Thanks to the Organ and Tissue Donation Committee the Critical Care Unit is now a space we are all proud of.
“The drab relatives’ rooms have been completely transformed into a comfortable and relaxing area for them to stay overnight and it’s fantastic that the shower room is back in use again as it means relatives can stay on the unit where their loved one is for as long as they want without having to worry about traveling to and from home to freshen up.
“As a result of the work the unit has a completely different look and feel and we have created a much-improved environment for patients, visitors and staff to feel as comfortable as possible. A huge thank you to everyone who was involved in the transformation.”
