Accident and Emergency/ Outpatients Departments

“Working throughout Outpatients and Accident and Emergency, Slight created a design process which allows patients and their families to both creatively engage with their immediate surroundings, and also start to imagine stories outside them. Cut vinyl images along with acrylic mobiles occupy multiple surfaces across walls, ceilings and doors in the treatment and consulting rooms of both departments.

These offer engagement and distraction; a starting point for a conversation. Taking some themes visible in the existing decoration, and finding new ones by speaking with hospital users, Slight created a series of ‘story threads’. These threads have been applied to over 30 individual rooms. The common elements running through these threads give them a feeling of togetherness throughout the departments.”
