Led by the NHSGGC Sustainability team and the expertise of award winning landscape architects Erz the RAH pond refurbishment radically transformed the outdoor space within the Royal Alexandra Hospital Campus.
Awards
The RAH Pond won the Sustainability Award at the NHS Assure Awards at Crieff Hypro, the project was managed by Eugene Lafferty before his retirement.
This project involves the restoration of a neglected and overgrown pond and woodland area to provide a quiet and reflective spot where staff, patients and members of the local community can spend time in nature, and where wildlife can thrive.
Improvements includes a new pathway circuit around the pond with a wooden boardwalk and interpretation signage; new benches and seating; natural play equipment; and a ‘living archway’.
All these elements have demonstrably improved nature, biodiversity and staff and patient wellbeing.
The £10.7m purpose built wards, represent the latest in clinical thinking and design and mark the future of inpatient care in mental health facilities.
The new facilities which opened in September 2020 offer light, airy and welcoming spaces for patients, their families and staff. A key highlight is the internal garden courtyard landscaped with flowers and herbs which provides a peaceful space for contemplation and visiting.

Within the unit we can offer gas and air, morphine and water immersion for pain relief and we can also support you in waterbirth.
The unit is minutes away from labour ward should you request any alternative pain relief such as an epidural or if you or your baby require any additional support. Please talk to your midwife at your next appointment if you are interested in using our AMU for your labour and birth.
