web Supporting Patient Centred Experiences | Sheffield Hospitals Charity

Supporting patient centred experiences

We want to support projects that:

  • Seek to improve patient spaces by creating healing environments (e.g. wards, break out rooms, relatives accommodation, bathroom facilities, ambulatory care, overnight accommodation and surgical spaces).

  • Introduce new or improved equipment and services, which enhance the patient experience and recognise the importance of relative wellbeing (e.g. reduce waiting times, make a process less painful/more comfortable, improve admission/discharge times, speed up recovery/treatment and reduce return visits to hospital). We are particularly interested in applications relating to mental health, frailty and end of life care.

  • Promote positive patient experiences which support mental wellbeing, such as distraction and holistic interventions including art therapy and complimentary therapies.
