Nobody enjoys traveling to the operating theater for
surgery and it can be particularly distressing for young kids. Rolls-Royce
hopes to help this with its custom ride-on vehicle created specifically for the
St Richard’s Hospital Pediatric Day Surgery Unit in Chichester, West Sussex.
Coined Rolls-Royce SRH, the bright blue ride-on
allows young children awaiting surgery to drive themselves to the operating
theater through the Pediatric Unit now lined with special traffic signs.
The SRH was created by the Rolls-Royce Bespoke
Manufacturing team and is powered by a 24-volt gel battery that allows it to
reach a top speed of 10 mph through the hospital corridors. It has an expertly painted exterior that combines Andalusian
White and Salamanca Blue with a St James Red coachline. It even features a
3D-printed Spirit of Ecstasy and bespoke paddle shifters.
Just
like the joy it will bring to our young patients, the Rolls-Royce SRH is simply
priceless. It is a very special gift and one of the most wonderful donations
ever received by Love Your Hospital.
