The Great Western Hospital has supported funding a pilot to provide patients with activity packs on the ward to help keep them occupied and stimulated during these current times of reduced visiting.
The packs contain activity booklets, a reminiscence booklet, letter writing paper and envelope, colouring pencils and pen and an information leaflet regarding national and local services to assist support people who are at risk of isolation and loneliness because of self isolating, bereavement or general decline and accessibility to usual activities and/or occupations.
We are trialling the scheme with 60 packs .
