We know how much difference a Health Play Specialist can make to children who are
seriously ill and for a lot of hospitals and community healthcare settings these roles can fall by
the wayside when budgets are critically tight. Our pilot Starlight Health Play Specialist project
has now demonstrated the positive impact of play staff for babies, children and families.
We’ve already learned so much and are designing an impact assessment tool with the
practitioners. Although the setup of the project is done, there is lots of learning still to do and
the manager of this work will facilitate and maximise this learning.
Starlight Health Play Specialists not only create the time, space and opportunity for children to
play, whether that’s for preparation for procedures, management of anxiety, entertainment
during long periods of boredom or aiding recovery. They carry out on-the-ground research,
measure impact of activities, sharing their learning with us and help us to really understand
what makes a brilliant Health Play Specialist and develop standards and training.They are
beacons of good practice, championing and protecting play in healthcare – and that is where
you, our new Play Specialist Programme Manager, come in.
