News

New Look Pharmacy

The recently refurbished Pharmacy department is now open and patients collecting prescriptions are now met with a bright and welcoming entrance and waiting area.

The installation of a new robot system for dispensing medicines led to a reorganisation and redecoration of the department and ArtCare were asked for their creative input.

A series of mixed media artworks based on plants and herbs whose initial letters spell out the word 'health' were created for the corridor and these images were repeated on signs, the design for the flooring, window film, and a large glass eglomise panel for the waiting area.
