Last week we welcomed the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) back to Kingston Hospital to judge our annual planters competition.

Teams of staff have once again nurtured wonderful planters around our hospital site, helping to create tranquil outdoor spaces for both patients and colleagues to enjoy.

The winners of each of the award categories were:

  • Best decorated planter – Emergency Department
  • Best teamwork – Speech and Language Therapy
  • Most colourful – Dental
  • Right plant, right place – Colposcopy
  • Best involvement of patients and department – Sunshine Ward
  • Best cared for planter – Patient Safety

Well done to our winners and thank you to everyone who has been involved.
