Hospitals can feel bleak, clinical, and slightly overwhelming for any young patient who finds themselves in A&E or living on a ward. Luckily, you can do lots of things to make your Hospital experience warmer, friendlier, and most importantly, less scary with the introduction of sensory elements.
Sensory elements and resources can make a distinctively positive impact on your patients, staff and visitors, making your Hospital a more pleasurable place to be.
When we talk about sensory equipment, some people believe that you need a complete shining, bubbling, out of this world Multi-Sensory Room, but that’s not necessarily true. You can create a sensory environment in the corner of a room, in a waiting room, across the walls in a long corridor, or anywhere you’d like with budget-friendly portable sensory equipment, which can be used across multiple rooms and hospital departments.
Rhino Sensory UK work with hospitals across the UK to create these special sensory environments, transforming and uplifting patient experiences. Carry on reading this blog to find inspiration for your own hospital-based sensory project!
