Thanks Ruthierhyme!
Last week didnt get off to the best of starts as due to staff sickness
and the "calmness" (we are notallowed to use the Q word here as it tends to tempt fate! :rotfl:) of the ward we didnt do as much as we planned. Although we did do the big end of week party with a brilliant face painter (who used to be a general nurse!) a magician from the POD charity and had the medical photography guy in to take pictures of the party (consent was given by the parents dont worry!),our catering service put out a bit of a party lunch and we put up decorations! it looked fab!,but due to the short notice,"calmness" and it being the first time me and my collegue had planned an event together we were worried that we wouldnt have anyone come!
we even rang round our own staff and pulled outpatients deparment into the plan to try and get numbers! lol and thank goodness we did all the patients waiting for their appoinments in OPD came and joined in the fun while they waited and it ended being a great fun while we raised awarness of the play in hospital week!.We also made a new work connection with the face painter who we are hoping will get involved in our funraising events, children in need being the next!
