Children and families to enjoy new waiting area thanks to Charitable funds donation
Posted Friday, February 28, 2025 10:47 AM
Children and their families now have a new waiting area outside Ward 25 at King’s Mill Hospital thanks to Sherwood Forest Hospitals Charity.
The charity refurbished the foyer using £12,500 of donations that were made to children’s services in recognition of fantastic care received.
The improvements, which included redecoration, new tables, chairs and colourful wall art, have provided a welcoming and more comfortable environment for families to wait when attending the ward for tests and reviews or waiting for medicines to take home once they’ve been discharged. It also serves the children’s physiotherapy department and community service.
Michelle Hutchinson, Deputy Sister on Ward 25, said: “We’ve already had fantastic feedback from families about the improved waiting area, which is exactly what we wanted to achieve.”
