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
#JustPlay
Thank you @CCLG_UK for two great days, packed full of great speakers. Lots to reflect on and bring back to practice 🎗️
