Recliner Chairs
Since 2017, with the support of our community, we have purchased 40 new recliner chairs for our care of the elderly, surgical and medical wards to help our weakest patients recover their strength after serious illness. 20 of these chairs were delivered earlier this year to increase the provision of specialist seating, as studies have shown that sitting out of bed not only helps improve patients’ breathing, digestion and circulation, but promotes independence, interaction, a sense of normality and improves overall recovery times.
These specialist support armchairs can be raised into a near standing position allowing the patient to get out of them much more easily. They can also be reclined so patients can elevate their legs to ease swelling and joint pain.
Physiotherapist Emily Orme commented:
“With the pandemic, we have been caring for so many patients recovering from the devastating effects of COVID-19. It’s such a wonderful feeling to see patients recover their strength and independence and get back home to their families and these chairs have helped us achieve that.”
