We are collaborating with occupational therapists at Frimley Health NHS foundation trust to deliver creative activities that encourages use of hands, dexterity, vision, control. The sessions are for Stroke patients in our care. A rewarding exercise that helps assessment, stimulates your mind and aids communication. Doing Dots at the same time with both hands, adds an extra dimension and widens knowledge of the learning that people have with effected limbs from a stroke.
Our vision is to enrich our patient, visitor and staff environment and creative activities. Working alongside clinical departments and local communities to enhance our spaces with inspiring visual design and creativity throughout Frimley Health hospitals.
