Playroom Launch

Colleagues from across the Trust gathered for the launch of the Children’s Ward’s newly refurbished playroom. The modernised playroom, which has been funded by the Dudley Group NHS Charity through a combination of charitable funds and community grants, is now a welcoming room with a bright and fun underwater theme. It is equipped with activities and toys suitable for all young patients, plenty of storage space for arts and crafts activities, a wet area, and a gallery where children’s artwork can be proudly displayed. There is also a reading corner for those children who may need some quiet time.

The room was officially opened by Trust Chief Executive Diane Wake who said: “The new playroom will make children’s experience of coming to hospital a more positive one, helping the whole family to cope during the long and emotional journey they face through surgery and treatments.”
