It is with the growing concern of the privacy-conscious patients that the gown has been redesigned to reassure the dignity of NHS. It was the Health Minister, Ann Keen who rolled out the plan.

It was a joint effort of Department of Health and the Design Council who brought the designers to bring the new gown's design prototypes to solve the privacy issues pertaining to the patients.

This move taken by the NHS saw notion of ensuring patients a better experience.

The concepts listed in the program were; "Bed Pod", which creates a patient-controlled sleeping area; a "Capsule Washroom" that reorganizes toilets along single-sex lines; and a wheelchair-bed hybrid.

It is believed that the designed gown is comfortable and will just fit in right for the patients. A fresh and innovative beginning, for sure.
