creative festive decorations from Queen Square ( National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, UCLH
Overview
The photos show a resourceful display of Christmas decorations crafted entirely from recycled clinical materialsโspecifically medicine boxes and patient information leaflets.
Detailed Description
* The Paper Tree (Main Image): The centrepiece is a large, white Christmas tree constructed from hundreds of strips of shredded or cut patient leaflets layered to create a 'pine' effect. It is decorated with:
* Miniature handmade ornaments (snowmen and abstract shapes) likely made from bottle caps or card.
* Strings of dark beads or wire acting as tinsel.
* Fairy lights woven throughout.
* It stands in front of a "Health and Well Being" notice board featuring the UCLH logo.
* The Hanging Star (Top Right): A complex, multi-pointed 3D star (or snowflake) hangs from the ceiling. It appears to be folded from patient leaflets, using the blue and white text to create a patterned effect.
* Medicine Box Wreaths & Wall Art:
* Bottom Left: A rosette-style wall decoration made from Tysabri 150 mg (natalizumab) packaging boxes fanned out in a circle, with a centre of red, white, and green yarn or pom-poms.
* Middle Right: A cross or geometric star shape constructed from Gamunex (human normal immunoglobulin) boxes. It is embellished with festive ribbon, small baubles, and coloured lights.
* Bottom Middle: A circular wreath made from blue and white medicine jars or boxes (appearing to be Gamunex or similar), decorated with a large, glittery red bow and fairy lights.
* Bottom Right: A wreath created from balls of crumpled paper (presumably leaflets) wrapped in wire or string to hold their shape, wrapped with fairy lights and finished with a red bow.
It is a brilliant example of upcycling hospital waste to bring festive cheer to the ward.
