Local artist .avoray has donated artwork to Poole Hospital.

The two pieces of art feature a coral reef with an assortment of underwater life and have been displayed in the waiting room of the elderly medical assessment unit.. With their bright colours and interesting arrangement, the paintings have been a large talking point with both patients and staff.

Advanced nurse practitioner, Samantha Sargent, said: “We are so proud to have these paintings. Many of our patients come into the hospital with dementia so it is wonderful for them to have a painting like this to distract them and calm them if they are waiting for an appointment. It really brightens up our day when we discover new things in the painting.”.

Sebastian, who is also a neuroscience student, added: “After recently moving to the area and seeing the pressure hospitals are under, I wanted to give back to my local hospitals. The paintings took a few months and I feel very proud knowing that patients at the hospital may get some joy out of them.”

Sebastian is in talks with other departments for their own commissions. Special thanks to Dorset Framers who supplied the frames. 🐟🐠

We are delighted that UHD has been featured as a case study for NHS Providers. Our teams were recognised for the innovations in managing demand and keeping our services running as we experienced difficult challenges and positive changes simultaneously across our hospital sites, in particular, our wonderful theatres team 🌟

"At the start of the first lockdown in March 2020 we ceased elective work and switched to providing only emergency and trauma care in preparation to cope with any surge in COVID patients. This involved a steep learning curve as our theatre staff learnt to work in different ways, with new personal protective equipment guidelines. Our brilliant team physically reorganised theatres to keep urgent cancer, trauma and emergency surgery running and to create more critical care space. Thanks to the way staff responded and met all challenges with courage and enthusiasm, we were able to maintain life-saving surgery."
Amazing work
