On Saturday 20th August 2022 I will be completing my first triathlon to raise funds for our local NHS hospital, Clitheroe Community Hospital. Funds raised will support patient enhancement in the form of entertainment. When you think of TV, a hospital probably isnt the next thing that comes to mind. Memories of sidesplitting or sentimental TV moments or the coziness of watching a movie in your pajamas are far more likely candidates. However, these projections of familiarity and comfort are crucial in creating the kind of atmosphere that hospitals want to replicate. Hospital TV can provide comic relief for patients who have suffered through illness or trauma, it can act as a distraction from pain or discomfort and perhaps most importantly, it can bring a sense of homeliness to an otherwise unfamiliar atmosphere. Some of our patients can be on the ward for long periods of time and we try to provide games, activities and entertainment to help them to enhance their hospital experience,
