Obstetric Theatre ceiling
visualPrinted ceiling tiles with an eye-catching design created by ArtCare volunteer Molly, are providing a welcome focal point for patients in the Obstetric Theatre and the Gynaecology department. The artworks include different types of birds hidden amongst the blossom, providing a visual distraction for women having caesarean sections or other treatment. The challenge to patients is to see if they can find and name all the various birds. The addition of a mobile hanging below the ceiling tiles in Gynaecology, also helps to instil a feeling of calm, with its gently spinning action. Following the installation, Obstetric Theatre Sister commented , “All of the patients I have had in theatre this week have enjoyed and admired it.”
