Paediatric x-ray patients enjoy wonders of the deep
Fundraiser Joel Warne and artist Hugh Rose.
The Big Raise for Little Rays fundraising campaign has helped refurbish a paediatric x-ray room at Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital so that it will be more friendly and welcoming for younger patients.
Following the efforts of staff and local fundraisers the room has been given a marine makeover, complete with a deep sea diver, make-believe periscope, control panels and portholes looking out to sea from which tropical fish, turtles and a whale can be spotted swimming by.
Due to the campaign’s success Agfa HealthCare, which supplied the room’s high-performance DR 600 x-ray machine, pledged to match the fundraising total of £5,000 and is funding the current refurbishment of a second themed x-ray room.
