Six new Sensory Delivery Rooms to benefit expecting mothers and midwives' work environment

The Sensory Delivery Rooms at Randers Regional Hospital have been upgraded to sensory delivery rooms that, through sound, light, and a large screen, aim to make the rooms less clinical and more homely.

In 2021, the Regional Council of Central Jutland allocated funds to all hospitals in the region to make their delivery rooms more family-friendly and homelike. The maternity department at Regionshospitalet Randers has now opened six interactive sensory delivery rooms from Wavecare.

“We hope that the rooms will not only benefit the expectant mothers but also provide something positive for the staff’s work environment. We’ve certainly heard that sensory delivery rooms are the staff’s favorite places to work at other locations,” says Deputy Chief Midwife Louise Thorup.
