Patients at Noble’s Hospital are to be saved a trip to the shop, with the Thie Bee Retail Shop coming to them.
Following the Meet the Matron listening events, the shop will once again be touring the hospital with a trolley.
Manx Care said: “You told us that having access to refreshments, small essentials and a friendly face – especially when you may not have visitors – would make a real difference to your hospital experience.
“We listened. We’re delighted to bring back trolley rounds across our wards and outpatient areas, making it easier for patients, carers and families to purchase items at the bedside or closer to where they are.”
Emma Cleator, Divisional Director of Nursing & Allied Health Professions for Unscheduled Care said: “This initiative reflects our commitment to delivering compassionate, person‑centred care on every ward, every day.
“The team has worked incredibly hard to refresh the process, ensuring it runs smoothly and adds genuine value to the patient experience.
“These small but meaningful interactions help promote comfort, dignity and connection: things that matter deeply to the people we care for. My sincere thanks to everyone involved for bringing this important service back with such energy and enthusiasm.”
“Your voice matters, and this is just one example of how we’re honouring our promise to listen, involve and improve together.”
