It's hoped the spaces will give patients a safe setting to continue their rehab journey.
A Midlands hospital is announcing two new Wellness Walkways to enhance patient recovery and overall wellbeing following illness and injury.
Portiuncula University Hospital is developing the initiative through a collaboration of Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Nursing and the Patient Advocacy and Liaison Service.
Each walkway includes a series of stations designed to promote gentle physical activity and cognitive stimulation in a safe, therapeutic setting.
Funded by the HSE Nurse Practice Development Unit, the initiative creates a health-promoting environment to foster independence and confidence.
Lisa O’Looney, Senior Physiotherapist at Portiuncula University Hospital, says: “The Wellness Walkways provide patients with a safe and welcoming space to continue their rehabilitation beyond formal therapy sessions. They promote independence, build confidence, encourage physical activity, and play an important role in supporting the emotional wellbeing that is vital to recovery.”
