Patients who spend a long time in hospital will be able to virtually visit some well-known Gloucestershire landmarks thanks to a new trial aiming to improve wellbeing.
The project has been launched to allow some patients to "visit" places like Gloucester Cathedral, Puzzlewood or Symonds Yat through immersive 360 video headsets.
Currently, the trial is available to patients in oncology and the department of critical care across both Gloucestershire Hospitals.
"We look forward to partnering with more locations including Gloucester Cathedral and Gloucester Rugby, to enhance this offering further in the coming months," a Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust spokesperson said.
