We're putting the finishing touches to our end of year report at the moment, here are some examples of quotes from the hospitals used in the report....
“If someone like you gives a bit of hello, it gets the day going on nicer… One thing leads to another with people, they’ve all a little tale to tell. They’re lonely. Time that’s the stumble-block. Do a bit of chit-chat in between and it brings things on a little.” Grace Smith
“People are substantially the same and culture is our local expression.” Louis Marks
“A book of hospital poetry (describing patients’ experiences)? I think the product would be of immense use to patients and doctors… to focus on something of this kind where arts and health are breaking out into new ground is fantastic.” (Dr Steve Watkins)
“Nice pictures, poems, stories from others - Yes! Useful for people who are just coming into hospital… What to expect if there’s a downfall and how to accept it before the up-fall comes.” (Doreen Jones)
“Poems and all – they help people. Sharing personal experience of people helps others.” (Marjorie Rayner)
