Holistic 'pet therapy' to be discussed at public board meeting in Peterborough
The health benefits of ‘pet therapy’ is one of the subjects to be discussed at the next public board meeting of North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust (NWAFT).
Members of the public are invited to attend the Trust’s next Public Board meeting to hear how their local hospitals – Peterborough City, Hinchingbrooke and Rutland – are run.
At the meeting, board members and attendees will hear a patient story about how a Pets as Therapy (PAT) dog and an assistance dog made a significant difference to a patient's holistic care. Both dogs will be at the presentation.
The meeting takes place on Tuesday 12 May, from 10am to 1.15pm, in the Partnership Suite at Hinchingbrooke Hospital.
An NWAFT spokesperson said: “Once the formal business is concluded, members of the public are invited to ask any questions they have relating to matters covered in the meeting.
“For anyone wishing to submit questions relating to agenda items in advance of the meeting, please ensure they are received by 9am on Monday 11 May by emailing: [email protected].”
