Sip Til Send - Custom Scub cap designs

Sip Til Send: Partnering with Prince of Wales Hospital for a Meaningful Cause

In 2023, Hunter Scrubs had the privilege of partnering with Prince of Wales Hospital to create something truly special: a unique pattern for scrub caps called "Sip Til Send." This collaboration was more than just about creating stylish headwear; it was about supporting a significant change in medical practice that benefits both patients and healthcare professionals.

The Inspiration Behind Sip Till Send

The "Sip Til Send" initiative was born out of the need to remind both staff and patients about an important regulation change regarding fluid fasting for patients awaiting surgery. Traditionally, patients were required to fast for extended periods before their operations, which often led to discomfort and dehydration. However, emerging practices have allowed for a more patient-friendly approach, permitting patients to sip approved clear liquids up until the time they are called to the theatre. This practice, also known as "drink until called," has shown to reduce the overall fasting duration, making the surgical experience less stressful and more comfortable for patients.

Designing the Perfect Pattern

Understanding the importance of this initiative, we worked closely with the Prince of Wales Hospital team to design a pattern that would not only be visually appealing but also serve as a constant reminder of the "Sip Till Send" practice. The result was a fun, vibrant, and meaningful print that captures the essence of this progressive approach to patient care.

But we didn't stop at just creating the fabric. We transformed this unique design into beautiful scrub hats that are now proudly worn by the hospital's staff. These hats are more than just a piece of clothing; they represent a commitment to patient comfort and well-being, and a reminder of the positive changes happening in healthcare.

A Style for Everyone

Understanding that one size does not fit all, we created these scrub hats in four different cap styles to suit various head shapes and hair types. Whether you have long, thick hair or prefer a more snug fit, there's a Sip Till Send cap for you. Each cap is crafted with the same attention to detail and commitment to quality that Hunter Scrubs is known for.

Personalization for the Perfect Touch

To make these caps even more special, we are able to embroider with the wearer's roles and responsibilities, whether on the ward or in the operating room. This personalisation not only adds a professional touch but also fosters a sense of pride and identity among healthcare workers.

Making a Difference, One Cap at a Time

At Hunter Scrubs, we're proud to have partnered with Prince of Wales Hospital on the Sip Till Send project. It's a testament to what can be achieved when healthcare professionals and suppliers come together with a shared goal: improving patient care. Each time a staff member dons a Sip Till Send cap, they're not just wearing a stylish accessory—they're part of a larger movement towards better, more compassionate healthcare.

You're able to order these through the website.
