“What I really value about it is that it’s a personal space where I can have personal items that have been given to me over the year. So when I come in, I can remember that I’m a mother and sister and wife and a daughter, I’m not a consultant psychiatrist.”

“I’m actually dressed as an elf today because it’s leading up to Christmas and it is a baby ward, so there’s wee kids who come in. I’ve got Mrs Claus as well and I dress up on Halloween for the kids so I can give them sweets and stuff at the desk.”

“This outside space is just such a little suntrap, it’s ideal. Everybody can enjoy the fresh air, enjoy the sunshine and just have some private space away from the ward.”
