Social and therapeutic horticulture for palliative care specialist interest group



We are thrilled to announce that Lorraine West, our Specialist Palliative Care Occupational Therapist at St Luke's, has been awarded a prestigious NIHR Health & Care Professionals (HCP) Research Internship. We are incredibly proud to see Lorraine championing innovation within our services and contributing to the growing evidence base for holistic, person-centred care. Congratulations!👏 #ImprovingOurCare #EmbracingNewThinking

Our Thursday 'Therapy Through Nature Group' has been very busy over the past four weeks. 🌱 Our patients have taken part in a programme designed to help them connect with nature. Together, they’ve been nurturing seedlings such as pea shoots, cress, and lettuce - even enjoying a friendly competition to see whose pea shoots can grow the tallest! Did you know? Sustainable September goes beyond our shops. Growing your own produce has many benefits compared to relying on supermarket goods transported from thousands of miles away. For example, pea shoots can be harvested and will continue to regrow, providing a fresh and sustainable supply. #OrganicMonth #SustainableSeptember



Here are just a few of the brilliant butterflies and moths to look out for in your gardens and green spaces this month! 🦋🌻🌿 See how many you can spot in the #BigButterflyCount from 18 July - 10 August 👉 bigbutterflycount.org

#twitches may have spotted early birds eyeing up prospective nesting sites in preparation for nesting activity around March. The @GHHospice Wellbeing through Nature group have been busy making nesting balls to give our feathered friends a hand @STH4PC #STH4PC #RSPB #SilverBirch







Our @STH4PC members will be relaxing, connecting with nature and spotting birds. What have you seen?

“Sustainable Practice for Social and Therapeutic Horticulture in Palliative Care” was the theme for @STH4PC 10th annual study day. Experiential sessions are always an important part of our practice @StRichardsHosp @theRCOT #PalliativeCare #Sustainablehealthcare
