Children's Hopsital Ward Revamp in the EDP

The Eastern Daily Press has recently published an article about the Children's ward refurbishment at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. GGS played an important role, providing the majority of the graphics for the various rooms and waiting areas, creating a fantastic 'seaside retreat' within the hospital. The make-over at the NNUH involved transforming the walls, ceiling and windows into bright and colourful works of art. Emma Jarvis, the Hospital Arts Co-ordinator explains the impact it has had on the patients; "It's much better than it was before. Because all the kids are less stressed, the parents are less stressed." The seaside theme is great for children of all ages, turning the ward from a clinical, uninviting area to a truly welcoming place. Emma says "when the parents tell their children it's time to go, they don't want to leave."
We're delighted that the graphics have been such a hit with everyone connected with the ward, inlcuding the staff, and with some excellent quotations from some of the children visiting the ward, the article proves that the refurbishment was a major success. However, we do feel that the artists deserved a mention. A big well done to Hannah Giffard, Kate Green and Eloise O'Hare who contributed to the fantastic graphic designs.
