Скачать или смотреть CHUF Funded Play Specialists

CHUF initiated the Play Service at the Children’s Heart Unit over 15 years ago. Funding one play specialist to work with children, providing non medical support to patients and siblings. The play service has expanded thanks to the support of CHUF, there are now play specialists working seven days a week and we have a team of four working throughout Ward 23, PICU and the Children’s Heart Unit Outpatient Clinic.

The amazing play team are experts at providing distraction, stimulation and lots of fun and games for the children staying on Ward 23, their support also extends to the siblings and families of patients. A weekly session is held in the playroom specifically for sibling support providing a much needed platform for siblings to offer peer support to each other and have time to play and talk about how they are feeling whilst spending time visiting their loved one in hospital.
