A very fitting name for therapy dog Pep

A week of events at Stepping Hill Hospital dedicated to the importance of positive patient experience on the ward got a boost thanks to a canine carer joining in.

Pet therapy is a long-established way of helping patients relax with the calming effect of interacting with friendly animals. It can release endorphins, and help ease pain and reduce stress for patients who wish to interact with the pets. Other activities during the week included exercise sessions with the support of hospital radio station Radio Starlion, relaxation activities, a celebration meal for St George’s Day, and the promotion of new storage boxes for patients to keep their belongings safe inside.Patients were also encouraged to give their feedback, and give their opinions on how experiences on the ward could be improved.
