inter faith hospital gown

The Inter-Faith Gown is a new hospital gown for patients who would like to be more modestly clothed. It has been developed by Interweave textiles of West Yorkshire. The gown preserves the modesty of patients whose culture or religion requires head garments and trousers in additional to mainstream hospital wear. The elements can be mixed-and-matched to enable the patient to obtain the required degree of coverage.


The Linen Services Manager at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust identified a need for the gown and developed the design.
