ACCORD Hospice has opened its brand new £1.1 million Inpatient Unit in Paisley.

Developed in collaboration with McLean Architects and Clark Contracts, the new unit possesses eight single rooms with en-suite wet rooms, patio doors leading to individual patio and communal garden areas.

ACCORD staff provided feedback on how the Hospice could design and equip the Unit to meet the complex and diverse needs of patient.

Helen Simpson, ACCORD Chief Executive, said: "I am thrilled and delighted with the outcome of this challenging but exciting project. The feedback received from patients, families, volunteers, supporters and staff during our 'open sessions' supports that we have achieved our aim of having a modern, functional yet homely healthcare environment in which to care for patients and families living with a life limiting illness."
