Challenge

Ideal Standard was tasked with providing inclusive products to ensure accessibility for young patients as part of a beach-themed washroom refurbishment at Royal Preston Hospital's paediatrics ward.

Solution

The company was chosen to supply this project because of its long and successful track record of working with the Department of Health to develop products for specialist washroom areas. It's solution for this project included the installation of grab rails, back supports and a hoist to help accommodate young patients with physical limitations.

Back-to-wall, supportive toilets were also chosen for the ward, with an anti-microbial glaze to reduce the risk of infection.

Outcome

The installation of the supportive healthcare solutions has created a space which minimises the chances of patients slipping and falling. The products also ensure the washroom is wheelchair-accessible and safe to use for even the most vulnerable patients.

The newly-refurbished washroom means disabled young patients at Royal Preston can have more independence and increased well-being while being cared for.
