Apologies all it’s been an incredibly busy today so not the usual amount of tweets as we’d like. Our fifth and final bulletin has been shared with our teams. Thank you everyone for being involved and engaged for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

[TRICS wellbeing @TricsWellbeing]

Our final day for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and our focus today is on nature activities. The last year has been tricky, many having to stay indoors to stay safe. Here are 10 activities that can be completed at home if you have access to a garden https://t.co/KB69muvCE0

Last tweet from us today. There’s lots of ways Hospitals can work closer with wildlife and nature. Many patients can benefit from these areas and we encourage all trusts to look at safe ways to give patients access to green spaces as part of a holistic recovery offer

NHS Forest is a project coordinated by the centre for sustainable healthcare. They are supporting NHS trusts to improve staff and patient access to green spaces. They also suggest innovative ideas to encourage the use of gardens for therapeutic purposes #MentalHealthAwareness

Our wonderful charity @supportkings provided beautiful apple trees that are proudly displayed at the front of our hospital site. A reminder to staff that there is beauty in nature

Our hospital is home to lots of interesting wildlife. We interviewed colleagues from security who told us that our Denmark Hill site is frequented by foxes during the day and night. Our rarest animal however is a peregrine Falcon that has been spotted resting on our helipad

Last tweet from us today. Hampstead Heath is a large wildlife packed park in Camden. Often frequented by families enjoying picnics enjoying scenic views. We hope you are able to visit a park close to you. Tomorrow we shall be discussing the link between Hospitals and nature.

Holland Park was the first place in the UK to grow the dahlia plant. The park is centrally located and home to many beautiful plants. The design museum is also situated on the edge of the park and well worth a visit. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Here is our third bulletin. Our favourite London Parks #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Richmond Park is the largest royal park in London. It’s famous for its deer population and cycling. Hidden in the middle of the park is the Isabella Plantation, currently filled with wild bluebells that cover the ground in a rich cobalt blue

Day 3 in #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and today’s focus is parks. There’s over 3000 parks in London, designated as ‘public open space’. Parks cover more space than railways and roads combined. Where is your nearest park? How often do you visit?

[TRICS wellbeing @TricsWellbeing]

Our last tweet today on the theme of trees and flora for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - London is PACKED with wildflowers. Here’s a handful you can find in fields, meadows, gardens and parks. We look forward to tomorrow’s bulletin - London Parks.

[TRICS wellbeing @TricsWellbeing]

We have just circulated our second nature bulletin for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - today we explored trees and flowers.

[TRICS wellbeing @TricsWellbeing]

Clever folks in the government have made a tree map that maps 800,000 trees in London https://t.co/KBqMo2jFDh - have a look for your local area and see what trees you have in your neighbourhood!
