Re: Use of window blinds in patient rooms

[Belinda Straube]

Dear all
Hoping for some advice from anyone who has been involved in redevelopment and has questioned the use of roller blinds in patient care areas

These are included in the health facility guidelines for inpatient wards regardless of risk rating of clinical area.

Many thanks
Belinda
