Today in PMQs I asked Deputy PM @DominicRaab to restate the government’s commitment to a #ChildhoodCancerMission to improve how we detect, treat & care for children with cancer. I welcome his support for better childhood cancer outcomes. @DHSCgovuk @SteveBarclay @Sophieslegacy10

It’s here! A collection of international stories of Play in Hospitals. Full of powerful stories of children’s experiences. So proud of @NickyEverett2, @CathHubbuck, Fraser & all contributors. A project that started during lockdown has been realised! #article31 #playinhospitals

Loved sharing why play in hospital was so important for Sophie and why change is needed. Sophies words were "you wouldn't run a ward without nurses, I don't think you should run a word without play specialist." Children's voices should be heard and action taken.

"There’s no such thing as a 100% risk-free environment so decontamination will always be important."
Helen explains how she helped develop RCN guidance on safely supporting play for younger patients in health care settings.

We can safely say that it is never ‘just’ play.
Play unlocks learning, safety, mental wellness, and so much more.
Play is not a ‘nice to have’, it is an essential part of healthcare for children and young people and should be treated as such

Nurse specialists Kim Harvey and Stephen Caldwell travelled to Nigeria last year to help improve the lives of local children. The duo were part of a team who supported more than 150 operations and delivered teaching sessions to nurses as part of the Healing Little Children trip.
