"Delighted with the Carers Day"

About: Rampton Hospital

(as a staff member posting for a carer/relative),

Just to say ,Thank you to all concerned for the Carers Events.  

 They give so much to families and friends bringing us together giving an opportunity to seek what we are needing at that time and move forward with friends with empathy. 
September 7th Cares Event was enjoyed .   l was able to see new activities being created for patients with a helping hand from some of the patients to create them. 
 Later that day l visited my friend on the ward, wanting to share what l had seen waiting for her to use.  My eye had caught the three wheel trike as she has problems with her balance. To my delight, She had been out on the trike ! we chatted and laughed as she relayed her story.   Fresh air, exercise and a change of scenery is priceless for wellbeing. 
I enjoyed sampling the fruit from your trees , with the hope it is offered for sale to the staff and public making it a plus and worthwhile to your patients who tend the garden.   I did leave with a bag full of sweet smelling tomatoes that fed me on my way home , delicious.!

 

Thank you again ,look forward to our next carers meeting.

Thank you for your post I'm really please you enjoyed the day, the West Field is an area that has been developed by patients and staff in collaboration and as you say has been great for everyone's health and wellbeing. I know the patients who have contributed to growing the vegetables and fruit will love the feedback that carers have the opportunity to take it home.

Thanks again for your feedback

Kay

Like Kay, I'm pleased that you enjoyed the carers' day. Unfortunately I couldn't be there myself but will be at the December event. What a wonderful experience your friend had had! As you say, fresh air and exercise can make a big difference.

With best wishes.

Peter
