Rachel Merrett, Superintendent Mammographer and Operational Lead for the Breast Care Unit, said: “Being referred to the unit for possible breast cancer and undergoing the necessary tests and biopsies can be an extremely difficult and worrying time and we are always looking for ways to help put our patients at ease.
“We chose a nature based theme as patient feedback suggested this would be the most calming and what they would like to see. It also continues on from the other painted murals in the unit so it was fitting.
“Since the artwork was installed, patients have told us that they find the room to be calming and helpful with their anxiety levels while having biopsies done so we know it is welcomed and doing the job we hoped it would do.”
