Spire South Bank Hospital, which has been providing cancer and urgent care for NHS patients during the pandemic, has upgraded its beds to provide added comfort for its patients.
The installation of 25 of brand new beds at the hospital is part of a £1.5m national programme seeing Spire replace around half of its total beds across the country.
COVID restrictions, which limit access to the hospital, meant that the beds were delivered in an unusual way. The suppliers dropped them off outside the entrance and the hospital team wheeled them into the building, then deposited the old beds outside the entrance for the suppliers to take away.
Dawn Pickrell, Hospital Director said: “We are constantly looking for ways to make every patient’s stay as comfortable as possible and these beds will be an important addition to our facilities.”
