A British hospital has launched a new range of 'modesty' hospital gowns.
Workers at the North Bristol NHS Trust medical centre were so fed up of complaints about the traditional garments - which tie up at the rear and expose patients’ bottoms - they’ve designed a range of wraparound gowns which protect the modesty of the wearer by tying at the sides.
Carol de Halle, the Trust's acting director of Nursing said: ''Traditional hospital gowns have been the butt of many a joke over the years.
Anyone who has been in hospital and worn one of them knows just how embarrassing and undignified they can be.

The trust have ordered 1,000 of the gowns and say feedback from staff and patients has so far been positive.
