Sky panels at York Hospital’s High Dependency Unit
23 FEBRUARY 2024
Thanks to John Wright Electrical who have made a huge difference at York Hospital’s High Dependency Unit (HDU). Their recent donation and installation of eight modern LED Sky Panels has completely revolutionised the environment, creating a vibrant and soothing atmosphere for patients.
These innovative LED Sky Panels don’t just illuminate the space; they bring a bit of outdoors inside. With their lifelike display of the sky outside, they provide a refreshing escape for patients confined to indoors for extended periods.
Elaine Hunter, Lead Nurse in Critical Care, shared her excitement about the positive impact of the sky panels on patients and their families, saying “We have received a great response to the sky panels. Adding a touch of the outdoors to brighten up the patients’ days makes a real difference.”
One touching account shared by Elaine highlighted the huge impact of the sky panels on a patient and his family. The daughter of a patient, who directly experienced the effect of the panels, expressed her amazement at the impact it had on her father’s wellbeing. The illusion of an open sky and natural light brought an unexpected sense of luxury and comfort to her father, creating an experience she never thought possible within a hospital setting.
The HDU team aim to fund more panels in the future to expand the impact to more patients. The panels bring comfort, joy, and a touch of the outdoors to brighten hospital stays.
Thank you again to John Wright Electrical for their generous donation and for bringing comfort and hope to patients during difficult times.
