Adolescent room refurbishments

Adolescent room refurbishments

We often think about how smaller children manage their time in hospital, but the Alex sees young people up to the age of 18, and teenagers often have very different needs from the younger patients.

Many teenagers coming to the hospital can be in crisis with severe mental health issues or wanting a bit more privacy, so it’s important that they have some space to go that’s calm and safe.

Which is why we refurbished two rooms in both the Emergency Department and Medical Ward at the Alex, specifically for this age group.

Thanks so much to the Cullum Family Trust for funding this project.
