Capio Nightingale Hospital creates the right environment

Capio Nightingale Hospital, London’s leading independent mental health hospital has unveiled its newly designed modern facilities, which provide a high-quality environment for its patients.  

The refurbishment is the culmination of the hospitals commitment to patient-centered care, which has seen the hospital expand its portfolio of healthcare programmes over recent years.

The hospital has responded to the growing demand for mental health care that is tailored to the needs of individual patients, and the refurbishment enables the physical environment of the hospital to complement these programmes.
 
Capio Nightingale Hospital has completely redesigned its therapy rooms, including modern group therapy facilities, consulting rooms and individual en-suite bedrooms to ensure maximum comfort and privacy for all patients.  The inpatient facilities are now more akin to contemporary hotel rooms and amenities, with kitchens, lounges and reading rooms available.

A colour scheme has been selected to assist with patients’ recovery. Green, which promotes balance, personal development and self-acceptance, and blue, for its healing and mentally relaxing properties have been chosen for the bedrooms. In addition purple, a colour considered liberating and freeing, has been used in shared spaces through the hospital.
 
The hospital is pioneering a patient centred approach to care and offers a range of high quality, innovative and clinically evidenced treatment programmes, which empower patients to exercise genuine choice in the care they receive.

In response to demand, the hospital has designed new treatment programmes to  reflect the pressures that changing lifestyles are placing on mental health; increasing use of technology, stress at work, rising levels of obesity all require specific new treatment therapies.
 
After extensive consultation with the hospital’s multi-disciplinary team of clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, dieticians and consultants, the hospital has introduced highly innovative treatment programmes that are not available elsewhere.

Over the last few years the hospital’s portfolio of services have expanded to include a Chronic Stress & Trauma Service, a pioneering new Weight Management and Obesity Service, the evolution of a Technology Addiction Service and Square Mile Syndrome Service, in response to the recession and subsequent  increased work and financial related stress.
 
Martin Thomas, Managing Director of Capio Nightingale Hospital said: “We have been working to design and develop the right environment to deliver the best possible care to our patients.

"This has involved working closely with the therapists and consultants at the hospital to design treatment programmes but also working hard to redesign the buildings and interiors to complement the bespoke experience our patients want and need.  This is the culmination of working towards providing the best possible care environment at a time when more and more people are seeking private mental health support.”
