The Imber Ward at Salisbury District Hospital, located in a new £14m environmentally sustainable building, provides 24 beds in a state-of-the-art ward. Catering for elderly patients with complex needs, the design of the space needed to consider dementia friendly environments.
“Patients may experience disorientation while navigating the area, so integrating wayfinding into the overall design concept was essential. Understanding these needs was part of the design process, but also helping staff take ownership and care of the spaces by understanding why design is important to them and how amazing it can look.” Lesley Self, ArtCare team lead, Salisbury District Hospital.
Design by Lesley Self (ArtCare) and Julia Gregory (Capital Projects) used focus groups with patients, families, visitors, and clinical teams. The interior reflects the colourful four seasons, incorporating local landscapes with photos and drawings. Walls and floors have a biophilic theme and are customisable with digitally printed images. Unique, customised rooms aid wayfinding, ensuring each room is distinct.
A combination of Altro floors and walls was used throughout Imber Ward. Altro Illustra, Altro Suprema and Altro Operetta floors provide safety, natural aesthetics and ease of cleaning. Altro Wood provides a homely, welcoming feel and Altro Whiterock Digiclad (Custom) was used for the walls creating an individual design focus for the ward and quiet room. Altro Pisces and Altro Whiterock Satins and Altro Whiterock White were installed in the bathrooms, showers and wet rooms, giving staff and patients the reassurance of bare foot and shod safety from slips, and easy to clean hygienic walls.

We have always used Altro products as they are great for clinical environments being versatile and providing a safe hygienic, softening finish.
We know that these products will be in place for at least 20 years, so they need to be durable, flexible, and able to match changing colour schemes.
