PlayPods Episode 2 - Play in Procedures

  • Summary

  • Welcome to PlayPods, the new series from the GOSH Learning Academy and the Play Team at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

    The Play Team are an indispensable part of the MDT at both Great Ormond Street Hospital and in children's wards across the country. Play is vital for promoting wellbeing in babies, children, young people, and their families. It offers a safe outlet for big emotions, a space to feel grounded and it can act as a means of understanding and navigating the complicated and scary world of healthcare.

    In this four episode series we're going to explore the power of play and the role of the Play Team at Great Ormond Street Hospital. In today's episode we talk to Holly, Charlotte and Sian (on behalf of Cheryl) who are going to talk to us about how play is used around procedures such as blood tests and cannulas.
