More ways to have your say in your new hospital (continued

Supporting your health and wellbeing

Your health and wellbeing matters to us and it is important that the new hospital is designed to support it. Within our vision we aspire to create an environment which promotes recovery, not just physically but also mentally.

Through summer 2020, we talked to many of you to find out what mattered to you. By attending team meetings and asking you to share your ideas, over 230 of you had your say and shared your views. At our In Touch briefing in February, we continued this conversation, discussing how some of the most common ideas you shared could be incorporated into the design (right). As well as these features, you wanted to see things such as water fountains, artwork, natural light and access to outdoor spaces. too and are committed to reaching as many people as possible. Do you have connections beyond the hospital that we could reach out to?

If you have more ideas, please share them with us. We want to make sure the spaces created support you as well as our patients.
