Coalville ‘Pink ladies’ meaningful activity co-ordinators Coalville Hospital, one of our community hospitals, has three meaningful activity coordinators to help patients recover more quickly. Known as the Pink Ladies because of their distinctive uniforms, the three-strong team work closely with various therapists to give patients constructive things to do. The range of activities they offer includes tea-parties, games such as Connect Four and cards, and visits to the hospital’s gardens. The practice was viewed as ‘outstanding’ by the CQC and we are now looking at creating similar posts across our other community hospitals.
