Heartbeat: Delivery suite at City Hospital given a facelift

August 9, 2018

Parents-to-be and visitors praised the new-look reception area of the delivery suite, all thanks to the kind-hearted staff and teachers from Bristnall Hall Academy.

The team, of up to 10 staff, worked tirelessly with their brushes to repaint the area. Principal, Vince Green said: “We are pleased to be here today to help redecorate the reception area at City Hospital’s delivery suite.

“We were asked by Your Trust Charity to support this activity and we didn’t hesitate in lending a hand. We think this is a great idea and we hope that parents-to-be and their relatives will find this is now a more relaxing area.”

Amanda Winwood, Fundraising Manager for Your Trust Charity, said: “We are grateful to the team from Bristnall Hall Academy, who took their time to come into our hospital on the first day of their summer break to help us with this community project.

“Already, we have received positive feedback from parents-to-be and their relatives on the revamped area. They have told us how it’s made them feel more relaxed and calm.”

Midwife Stephanie Vaughan added: “On our department’s behalf, I would like to say thank you to Bristnall Hall Academy and Your Trust Charity for making this happen.

“Before, our reception looked quite clinical with plain walls. But now, the reception looks completely different. The walls are painted in soothing colours, such as blue and purple, and they are decorated with art stickers. The team from Bristnall Hall Academy really have transformed the area. I’m sure many families will love this new-look.”
