We were pleased to receive feedback from Mark Mainwood, Clinical Lead OT Neurosciences about the new shower chair purchased for our Sahara wards. The chair was funded by former staff member Kaz Melvin and her family in honour of Kaz's sister Ria, who passed away at the young age of 25 due to an aggressive brain tumor.


“The shower chair offers further assessment opportunities, it can feature within rehabilitation, but also offers quality of life enhancement for patients who have life changing diagnosis or even have life limiting illness.”

-  Mark Mainwood, Clinical Lead OT Neurosciences


It's great to hear that the new piece of equipment is not only benefitting our patients but also staff members.
