Sometimes a nice cup of tea can just make you feel that little bit better.
Or perhaps coffee is your choice, or hot chocolate with a marshmallow on top.
When you're a patient in hospital access to a hot or cold beverage on the ward you are staying can make such a big difference.
Northamptonshire Health Charity are really pleased to have been able to fund 28 brand new beverage trolleys for all the wards at Northampton General Hospital.
These new trolleys will enable the ward hostesses to provide an enhanced beverage service to patients many times throughout the day.
Easier to push and navigate around the ward, they will also allow more time for meaningful interactions with patients.
Additional storage space means a broader range of drinks can be offered to people so hopefully everyone's favourite will be covered.
Did you know that on average 1.6 million disposable cups are used at NGH each year!!
These new trolleys will facilitate the provision of crockery across the wards helping to reduce the amount of disposable cups and single-use plastic across the Trust.
So, they're good for the environment too!
We'd like to send out a huge thank you to everyone who supports Northamptonshire Health Charity because without you the enhancement of this type of service for all patients wouldn't be possible.
