Theatre Reception

A transformative project at the Royal Hospital for Children is set to benefit more than 10,000 children who require treatment at the hospital’s operating theatres each year.

In an innovative collaboration between the hospital and award-winning design studio Graven, the project is resetting traditional clinical design standards in paediatric care.

The design team, led by Ross Hunter of Graven, has been working in close collaboration with consultant anaesthetist Dr Alyson Walker and a wide range of stakeholders including patients, families, surgeons, nurses, and porters. Dr Walker initiated the project five years ago and engaged with Graven in 2021.

The project has been funded through the remarkable efforts of the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity and many dedicated businesses and fundraisers.
