Patients become who they really are with the live team

"Patients become who they really are with the live team"

About: Highbury Hospital

(as a service user),

The Live Team are the most important team which help to co-ordinate, support and enable patients to achieve their independence in a way that is suitable to them, using the person centred approach with a holistic caring, supporting concern.

Particularly, the allotment where patients can relax, enjoy the sunshine or shade and generally chill out, provides an hour of peace and freedom of mind to some patients who are locked in wards but can escape to their small taste of freedom down here in the garden allotment with escorted leave. Here the patients become gardeners and people with their individual knowledge and memories and then they become the person they have always been. They find themselves in this garden.

The 'Live' Team, also go on to the wards and use pampering and relaxation techniques to improve the dignity & self esteem of the clients who are unable. for whatever reason to leave the ward. These 'Live' services are important and crucial to our residents and help us to reduce cravings to undertake unhealthy smoking practices.

Hello,

We would like to thankyou for your lovely post in regards to the Live Team and how they have impacted postively on your stay at Highbury. We strive as team to ensure that everyone is welcome at the Highbury Community Garden whether that be relaxing on the benches, enjoying the social opportunities or taking part in the gardening activites.

We are so pleased to hear that you have enjoyed relaxing and attending the Highbury Community Garden and that you've had a pleasant experience, having a break from the ward.

We are glad that you have also enjoyed the ward based activities that we provide and we very much hope, like you, that the activity coordinators will be able to continue their good work within the Live Team.

We wish you all the best,

Many thanks,

The Live Team
