New ‘bus stop’ encourages patients to socialise on ward

All aboard!

This new bus stop feature is ready for our patients on St Osyth Priory Ward at Clacton Hospital.

It’s a seating area to encourage patients to meet and socialise.

It’s part of a whole ward refurbishment to improve the environment for patients, including making it dementia-friendly.

Thanks to the ward team – some pictured here – and everyone involved in the refurbishment.

The bus stop idea is courtesy of colleagues from Peldon Ward at Colchester Hospital where they’ve had a ‘bus stop’ for some time.
