A welcoming entrance for patients and a calming environment for relatives and staff has been created on our Critical Care Unit thanks to a makeover.
Wall graphics featuring birds and willow leaves now line the walls of the freshly painted corridors of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the High Dependency Unit (HDU) to help make the space feel more welcoming. The two relatives’ rooms on ICU have also been painted in a soothing pale blue and blossom wall art installed. In addition, the shower room for those who choose to stay on the unit overnight is also back in use thanks to repairs being carried out and it being freshened up.
The blossom wall art theme continues in the waiting rooms on both ICU and HDU which have also been repainted. Each of the rooms have new chairs and all of the patient and relative information has been updated and placed in leaflet holders.
To make it easier for visitors and patients, as well as new staff, to find their way around the unit, new signage has been put up and to keep the area clutter free posters have been placed in new display cabinets. A large poster showing the critical care journey with information for patients and relatives has also been framed.
