Can we make #play a bigger feature of children's hospital experiences around the world? Inspired by 'Play in Health Awareness Week', run by @PEDALCam researcher @paediatricianw1, more professionals in Spanish-speaking countries are doing exactly that. news.educ.cam.ac.uk/23-jim-week

It’s been child validated as “not boring” and “actually pretty fun” @PEDALCam @CamEdFac

📢 Calling all families with children aged 5-13 who can travel into @CamEdFac for a study in the play lab at @PEDALCam! I’m hope to work with approximately 10 more children for this playful methods study (set up picture below)! Please share around / email me spc61@cam.ac.uk
