Maintenance Solutions were asked to design and fit a new reduced ligature safe ensuite bedroom for the Starlight Unit at the University Hospitals of South Manchester NHS Foundation Trust.
The Starlight Unit provides care for children aged 0-16 needing a hospital stay for medical treatment or surgery. The pediatric inpatient ward has capacity for 24 children with a mixture of beds and single cubicles, mostly with ensuite facilities. Gillian the ward manager approached MS because they needed a safer environment for more vulnerable children who presented with both physical and emotional issues.
