Gorgeous Hospital Gowns (ABN 93 628 610 684) is the passion of Annie Allica.
Annie has been a Registered Nurse for over 20 years and has worked in a variety of clinical settings in different roles across Australia.
Annie's idea for creating Gorgeous Hospital Gowns was born during her most recent clinical role while helping a patient dress.
The patient was feeling quite unwell and preferred to be put into a gown provided by the hospital rather than her own pyjamas. She was simply too exhausted to cope with the effort of having to manoeuvre into pyjamas, unhook her intravenous drip, reconnect her cardiac monitor etc. If you've ever been in that situation you know how it feels. Annie thought how wonderful it would be if someone created a range of “gorgeous” hospital gowns – so she did!
Annie's plan was to make a hospital gown that would be comfortable and safe for the patient, easy to put on and practical for use by medical staff and/or carers. She's created gowns that provide simple access for medical devices while protecting modesty and dignity and lifting patient's spirits. And they're gorgeous!
