Botanical printing and book making 🍂 📖

Arts for Good Health participants recently looked at ways of framing their beautiful prints, inspired by the garden at No. 93 Wellbeing Centre.

One said: "I like how we are encouraged to play, explore and make mistakes. My 'happy accident' is my favourite print. I wouldn't have achieved that by trying to be perfect."

We are pleased to share that Blossom Ward, located in our state-of-the-art North View inpatient mental health hospital, has been awarded the University of Stirling’s prestigious Dementia Design Gold standard.

The accreditation follows rigorous assessment of how dementia-friendly the ward and hospital environment are, taking into account the space’s ability to support service user needs, maximise independence and enhance self-esteem and confidence.

Following the accreditation, Danielle Hardy, Ward Manager at Blossom Ward said:

"This magnificent achievement is testament of what teamwork can achieve. This has greatly enhanced our service user experience, has helped maintain service user independence and overall comfort on the ward. The achievement would not have been possible without the dedication of staff, both clinical and non-clinical, who’ve worked collaboratively to deliver an outstanding environment for our service users."
