Abstract:
A Medical Illustration Department may need to set up a studio in a space that is not designed for that purpose. This joint paper describes the attempts of two separate trusts, University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) and Norfolk & Norwich University Hospitals (NNUH), to refurbish unusually small studio spaces of 4m × 2m. Each trust had a substantially different project budget and faced separate obstacles, but both had a shared aim; to maximise the limited studio space and enhance the quality of images produced. The outcome at both Trusts is a significant improvement in image quality.
