Dear Toyin Kazeem,
To clarify:
Self contained room means a single occupancy room that has en suite bathroom faciities;
Accessible room is just that!Fully accessible for patients with physical disability including wheelchair users ie with adaptations and fixtures to support mobility and self care needs. Very surprised that a NHS Trust needs that explained.
Fully accessible self contained room therefore is one that is both of the above
Yours sincerely,
Matthew Syed
