As part of the development of our new facilities, we want the voices of children and young people to help shape the environment they will use. During this session, participants will have the opportunity to view different seating options, share their preferences, and tell us what is most important to them when visiting or staying in hospital.

🪑 Could your child help us choose the seating for our new hospital expansion at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital?

We’re inviting children and young people, with their parents or carers, to take part in a focus group to help us choose seating for the new children’s areas currently under construction at RSH.

We want to hear directly from young people about what would make these spaces feel comfortable, welcoming and enjoyable when they visit our hospitals.

Participants will have the chance to look at different seating options, share their views and help shape the design of the new building. 💙

📅 Saturday 19 September
⏰ 10.30am-12.30pm
📍 Outpatients, Women and Children's Centre, PRH

If you have a child or young person who might like to get involved, we’d love to see you there.
