Exciting transformations are underway at St John’s Hospital as we collaborate closely with the Estates team to enhance our outdoor environments for both patient care and staff wellbeing.

This spring and early summer, there’s been a real sense of growth across the Western General Hospital – not just in the gardens, but in how patients, visitors and staff are connecting with nature.

There’s a real buzz across the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and the BioQuarter this spring – and not just from the bees. From new planting and wildlife-friendly spaces to staff activities and a growing chilli challenge, nature is becoming a bigger part of everyday life on site.

There’s a real sense of energy at Astley Ainslie this season, as staff, patients and volunteers come together to make the most of the hospital’s beautiful outdoor spaces
