A BLAND and depressing hospital is being transformed thanks to the work of patients and volunteers. The Design in the Dale group is working to improve the health and wellbeing of those in Leverndale Hospital. And their latest move has been to unveil a stunning new mural on the site. Samantha Flower, Care Group Occupational Therapist and NHS project lead for this work, said: “When I am out and about everyone comments on how peaceful the site is. People are amazed by the mural and regularly stop to admire it as it has taken shape. Health bosses are seeking to improve indoor and outdoor spaces; increase greenspace and biodiversity; and improve the environment for patients, staff and the local community.
