Ninewells staff celebrate Play in

Hospital Week

Play specialists at Tayside Children’s Hospital showcased the vital work they do with children and young people as part of Play in Hospital Week.

Play in Hospital Week is a national event celebrated every year by healthcare play specialists and play assistants. It is run by the National Association of Healthcare Play Specialists (NAHPS) and gives play staff the opportunity to share information about the services they provide for children and young people in hospital.

Doctors, nurses, anaesthetic staff and allied health professionals were invited to the play centre on ward 29 at Ninewells to find out more about the support that play specialists can offer to colleagues who work with children in the hospital environment.

An information stall was also held on the concourse at Ninewells to allow staff, patients and visitors the opportunity to learn about the work of play specialists, along with some the tools and equipment they use.
