| dc.description | Design & Dignity was launched in 2010 in recognition of how deeply people experiencing trauma are affected by their surroundings. The Design & Dignity project is working to change not just the culture of care within acute hospitals but also the physical environment of hospitals for people facing death and their families. To date, over 47 projects have been completed – seeing shabby storage rooms or offices revived, turning them into oases of calm where bad news can be broken sensitively or where families can gather and have a cup of tea. Serene viewing rooms have been created within emergency departments, where people first see a deceased loved one, to allow for moments of private grief. Neglected mortuaries have been transformed into havens of peace. These critical projects are making a real difference at a traumatic time in people’s lives. This is the third version of the Design & Dignity Guidelines since 2010 and we are constantly learning, improving and striving to make them better. | en |
