Set to be part of Royal Shrewsbury Hospital’s new extension, the sky gardens, made by Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club, will be located on the top floor of the new building and provide an outdoor space for patients away from clinical areas and without the sounds of medical devices.
The new facility will open in 2028.
Dr Chris Mowatt, clinical director for critical care, said: “The new unit—including this unique outdoor space—will offer a far better environment for our patients, bringing high-quality specialist care together in one place and making their time in hospital more comfortable.”
Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club plans to fundraise for the garden.
Club president Johnathan Callwood said: “We confidently anticipate that the sky gardens will bring enormous enjoyment to patients requiring care in the new facilities, and we are delighted to work with SaTH to support the creation, design, and fundraising of this most exciting new facility.”
Director of public participation, Julia Clarke, added: “We are delighted to be working with a long-standing organisation within the community—Rotary brings a wealth of experience in supporting important projects throughout the county.”
Launching the fundraising efforts for the facility, Shrewsbury Severn Rotary Club held a special event at Berwick House, Shrewsbury, on Tuesday, December 2.
The ticketed event included a private tour of the house, canapés, mulled wine, and a light walk.
