Special delivery from the Children’s Ward

K8 Ward patients and hospital staff with their donated artworks

Patient’s at Gosford Hospital’s K8 Ward received a special delivery courtesy of the patients from the Children’s Ward.

The hospital’s youngest patients happily donated some of their artworks to spread some cheer and goodwill around the ward.

A hospital spokesperson said the touching gesture went down a treat with patients who had been struggling with feelings of loneliness during the COVID-19 pandemic, with one woman even moved to tears.

“While COVID-19 has meant that we have had to put in place important measures like visiting restrictions to protect patients and staff, our Consumer and Carer Engagement team in partnership with the Children’s Ward Child Life Therapists have been finding innovative ways to keep people connected and this is just one example,” the spokesperson said.
