The annual RBWH Christmas Decorating Competition was once again a ho-ho-huge success, with wards from throughout the hospital decking the halls to bring festive joy to patients and each other.
This year, the themes were winter wonderland, Santa’s workshop, an outback Christmas and Christmas on film.
Judging was based on relevance to theme and overall appearance, with extra points awarded for use of sustainable or recycled items.
