A new state-of-the-art sensory room for patients suffering with brain injuries has opened thanks to charitable donations at Salford Royal Hospital.
Transformed from a large storage room into a neurorehabilitation suite, the sensory room features a range of sensory equipment such as light activities, a projector and different seating options to allow patients with limited movement to relax and feel comfortable.
The room is set to be used as a space for patient assessments and interventions, as well as a relaxing area for physical and metal support.
Originally submit for funding in 2020, the room was funded by NorthCare, the official charity of Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust with support from NHS Charities Together.
Kim Cochrane, Occupational Therapy Lead for Neurorehab at the hospital, said: “Lots of patients only receive rehab further along in their recovery journey because they still have clinical needs and need to be cared for in hospital, rather than a rehab facility.
“Having high-quality resources to support rehabilitation here at Salford Royal means that patients can start that part of their recovery journey earlier and longer-term. It will be life changing.”
