It’s coming home! Staff at Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust are celebrating the Euros 2024 final by setting up activities for the Department of Medicine for the Elderly, where patients with cognitive impairments, such as dementia, are treated. The team have a number of activities planned, including taking patients to ‘the pub’, one of a number of reminiscence rooms at the hospital designed to help the memories of dementia patients. And the patients who aren’t well enough to visit ‘the pub’ will still be involved in the action, with staff taking screens directly to the patients to watch the match. The celebrations and activities, alongside watching the game, are expected to help the patients by provoking memories and boosting wellbeing. Thank you to all our NHS staff who are going the extra mile to help patients enjoy the game! ⚽ #EUROS2024

1moThis is wonderful and a true example of seeing the person and not the condition helping them to be part of celebrations , share pride and their story. Well done NHS spreading togetherness and team endevour to show what good care looks like. 💕 think you will have a few who played football and when they were younger especially like my Dad who came from Liverpool a rule in our house when we were little we couldn’t play up when football or horse racing was on 😂😂😂 big trouble if we did. Share memories, share joy because when we are family Carers we are so tied up in worry for our loved ones sometimes we regret not spending moments like this . Today remenber the person and not the condition feel or hear their story. Leave till later to sort out other things today or tomorrow visit your loved one in a Care Home or hospital and celebrate how special they are.💕
