Ward 6 at Grantham Hospital have introduced a swan light for our end of life patients. Ward staff are very conscious of providing a respectful environment for all of our end of life patients and their relatives.
We have recently introduced the swan lights.
The lights are positioned outside the patient’s room and also on the nurses station.
The candles act as a gentle reminder to staff on the ward and visiting staff, that they need to be providing a quiet, respectful environment as there are end of life care patients or bereaved relatives on the ward.
This is another extension of ULHTs Swan Scheme.
