(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

I'm bored on the ward. There should be little tasks to do on the ward, like using pasta strips to build a high tower and some team building exercises.

More things on the ward would be so good. You could get horse racing DVDs and show on the screen in Wychall. I am getting a job in they gym helping pack away stuff. Little jobs for patients is a good thing. I think its worse on the MSUs if you can't get off the ward. The only thing I've got to look forward today is cooking at 3 o'clock. I'm bored.

Thank you for your suggestions. Previously I have worked in areas where we used the Horse Racing DVD's for an activity and it was really well received. I will pass on your suggestions to the Events Coordinator and see whether we can incorporate it into the events diary.
