Look at this - intensive care ward on the hospital roof!

At last, the research about gardens and well-being being put to practical use - look at this outdoor intensive care ward, on the roof of a hospital. I wonder if they'll ever allow flowers and plants to be brought into hospital wards again. The joy might possibly outweigh infection risks, except in severe cases.

  • Some of the older hospitals had gardens. I remember years ago when my Mum was in hospital going out into a garden with her. I think this is particularly helpful for long stay patients. There was something on the news the other day about patients with high needs finding a small room difficult as a permanent situation. That particular one I think was a young lady. There was a window looking out to another bit of building, but not where she could see.
