Advantis supports Lady Ridgeway Hospital with innovative space solutions

-

Advantis Engineerin­g, a subsidiary of Hayleys Advantis Ltd, recently completed the design, constructi­on and furnishing of a lobby area for patients awaiting heart surgery at the Lady Ridgeway Hospital for Children (LRH).

The team at Advantis Engineerin­g, which has been working with the staff of LRH for many years, identified the need for a lobby that would help soothe a scared child who is on the way for a surgery.

The new lobby is furnished with comfortabl­e seating, colourful walls, plenty of toys, a fish tank, and a TV to keep the chil- dren entertaine­d and distracted whilst they await their surgery, a company media release said.

This was the second phase of Advantis Engineerin­g’s ongoing work with LRH which began in 2016 when the company stepped forward to construct the storage area for the HOPE Operating Theatre. This first phase of developmen­t enabled the hospital to open up space for another operating theatre which added to their capacity to save lives. Ultimately, this helped the hospital to perform two to three additional surgeries per day.
