Star Wards
Star Wards is a national project to get my photo on as many mental health publications and as many ward noticeboards as possible. I try to avoid having humans nuzzling their way into the pictures, but didn't quite manage with this one.
You can see ME on the front covers of Star Wards publications on their website - www.starwards.org.uk. There's rather a lot of superfluous information on the site, all about collaborative working with mental health wards to improve inpatients' daily experiences and treatment outcomes, bla bla bla. Feature after feature with stuff about patient autonomy, ward activities and even something called Acute Care Pathways. I do myself like pathways, as they're excellent sources of sniffing out local news via the liquid messages left by my pals.
There is at least a bit of relevant and interesting content on the website, all about the value of pets on wards. This is indeed a very fascinating and frankly rather moving topic and one day when I've got a bit less sleeping on my schedule I might put paw to keyboard and describe some of the disproportionate therapeutic benefits of pets on wards. Especially Tibetan Terriers but even bunny rabbits. Let's hop over cats.
News flash! Marion is obsessed with what a transformative effect animals have for inpatients and there's a lovely feature on Wardipedia all about how wards can make this possible. Just click here
