Luke and Wendie, our Health and Wellbeing Coaches are spearheading a new service for patients with the Pets as Therapy organisation allowing patients the opportunity to pet and play with a range of therapy animals.
Pets As Therapy (PAT) is a national charity that enhances the health and wellbeing of thousands of people in communities across the UK via guided interactions with a trained animal and its handler.
They strive to ensure that everyone, no matter their circumstances, has access to the companionship of an animal and the emotional and psychological benefits that can be gained from this interaction.
Their volunteers and their temperament-assessed pets bring smiles to many faces. People of all ages get the chance to chat to someone — and stroke a friendly dog or cat.
For more details about this service please take a look at the poster below.
