Supporting healthcare staff at Barts NHS trust

The NHS is the frontline of care provision in the United Kingdom. The time of the pandemic is proving to be one of stress, anxiety and sometimes sickness for healthcare staff. They are working above and beyond expectation, leaving them physically and mentally exhausted. Having a place to rest means the absolute world.

The Barts NHS Trust wellbeing centre was set up to allow healthcare staff to step away from the demands of their roles and escape to a place where they can rest during breaks and before/​after shifts.

As dedicated suppliers of healthcare furniture who know the importance of supporting staff welfare, the Ocura team stepped in to help.

How Ocura helped the staff at Barts NHS wellbeing centre

Ocura loaned four high-comfort recliners to the wellbeing centre to help improve staff comfort. The tired staff needed some comfortable furniture for rest and we were more than pleased to provide some respite.

The recliners were delivered to the wellbeing centre in less than 24 hours so that the staff could make use of them straight away! Once on-site, the recliners were distributed between three units to allow on-call doctors and other staff working around the clock to rest.

Ocura recliners are sturdy, wipe clean and come apart at the sides to allow extra thorough cleaning. In a hygienic environment, especially during an infectious pandemic, this is fundamental for infection control.

The staff at the wellbeing centre have also delighted over the way the recliner goes all the way back, making rest even more comfortable. By giving the staff at this important centre comfortable hospital chairs, they also feel valued while they re-energise and rejuvenate to preserve their wellbeing during this difficult time.
