Roland DG aids with makeover of treatment rooms at local children’s hospital

The artwork was designed by Emily Twomey

Roland DG has printed and applied vivid printed artwork for use within three treatment rooms and the waiting area of the Neurophysiology Department at Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.

 

Located near Roland DG’s UK head office lies Bristol’s leading paediatric hospital, Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, and the only paediatric major trauma centre in South West England. 

 

The work was done using the TrueVIS AP-640 – the company’s first ever water-based resin/ latex printer. The printer is suitable for indoor applications in sensitive environments such as hospitals and schools. The TrueVIS resin inks are GREENGUARD Gold certified, meaning they meet strict standards of low chemical emissions. 

 

It is widely understood that the children and their families spend 80 to 90% of their time indoors where pollutant levels are often much higher than those found outside, and this time is heightened for those spending time in hospital. Roland DG believes these statistics simply cannot be ignored, particularly in places where health and recovery is of paramount importance. 

 

The artwork, created by Grand Appeal designer Emily Twomey, channels a beautiful underwater theme, with vibrant colours and phrases that aim to tackle worry, offering escapism for patients. 

Anna Shepherd, deputy director for The Grand Appeal, Bristol Royal Hospital for Children’s official charity said: “At The Grand Appeal, we are dedicated to saving the lives of sick children and supporting their families through difficult times. When Roland DG approached us with the offer to makeover spaces in our hospital, we couldn’t have said ‘yes’ faster! Bringing colour and light into the lives of unwell children will make such a difference in what can be dark times. We are thrilled with the results and have already seen a positive impact amongst patients.”
