Thanks to charitable donations, the patient garden on Ward 2a - Neurosurgery at Royal Preston Hospital has been given a fresh new look with colourful bedding plants, pots and compost to help brighten the space! 🌼🌿🌺

The garden is a shared outdoor area for patients, staff and visitors to enjoy some fresh air and calm away from the ward. Volunteers recently helped tidy and w**d the space, and the addition of flowers has made it even more welcoming.

This lovely improvement was made possible thanks to a generous donation from a former patient of the ward, who wanted to give back in thanks for the care he received 🥰

With 61 beds across our neurosurgery department at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, this refreshed outdoor space will make a big difference to those patients who are well enough to enjoy time outside.

Thank you to everyone who helped enhance this space for patients! 🧡
