Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page
I shall me participating in a 24 hour solo endurance run aiming to do 100miles if I can. I am doing this for the personal challange but also to help raise some funds for ward J30 at St James’s UniversityHospital. I am doing this as I am the current ward manager and all my patients are awaiting discharge from hospital with some sort of social care. Many with complex discharge needs so this discharge process can be lengthy. The majority of our patients are elderly and a high volume of them are living with dementia and it is therefore vital they receive adequate stimulation to help with mental health and wellbeing as well as to keep them physically active allowing then to leave hospital with the adequate care in the best physical and metal state possible. However j30 currently lacks this sort of stimulation and many of out patients are left just sitting there awaiting either a family visit or discharge to come around which isn't healthy. I therfore hope to use any donations to purchase new equipment for the ward to help make the environment more patient freindly andly offer the stimulation required to improve the overall experience of our patients
