What role does play have in children's healthcare, and why is it so important in hospital?
In this episode, Charlotte is joined by Sarah, Policy & Public Affairs Manager at Starlight, to discuss how play helps children cope with hospital stays, supports their emotional wellbeing, and improves their overall healthcare experience.
Together, they explore the evidence behind play in paediatric care, the challenges of ensuring every child has access to it, and the work Starlight is doing to make play an essential part of healthcare for children across the UK.
Whether you're a healthcare professional, student, parent, or interested in child health and wellbeing, this episode offers practical insights into why play should never be seen as an optional extra in hospital care.
