Emergency Departments can be very unwelcoming to children. We commissioned illustrator Richard Hogg, who worked with us to make the environment more child-friendly.
Hogg drew a variety of animals engaging in medical activities. Some were using stethoscopes, others having X-rays, or wearing casts. This approach helps to normalise clinical procedures for children, easing their anxiety while they wait.

Alongside Hogg’s animals, Art in Site designed Tetris-inspired shapes, which were cut into the infection-control-approved wall panelling. These shapes break out above the standard half height, and even onto ceiling tiles, where the animals playfully interact with them.
