Pupils add a dash of colour to GP surgery
PRIMARY school pupils have provided a ‘much needed morale boosted’ to NHS staff by creating colourful art displays.
Children at Littleborough Community Primary School have sent their drawings and paintings of rainbows, sunflowers, trees and butterflies to Littleborough Group Practice, where they have ‘transformed’ the practice, filling the walls across reception and the waiting room area.
The children also wrote thank you messages to show their appreciation for the practice staff who have continued to provide
GP services to patients during the coronavirus pandemic.
Practice manager Kelly Vines said: “These have been challenging and often difficult times, with staff working around the clock to provide ongoing care to patients during the coronavirus outbreak.
“The messages of support and artwork from the children have truly put a smile on our faces during this difficult period.
“They have helped to shine a much needed light on our building when we have needed it most.
“We appreciate every piece of artwork made by the talented students and want to extend a heartfelt thanks to the children and staff at Littleborough Community Primary School for all their effort and hard work.”
Rachel Thorne, Patient Participation Group member and governor at the school, added: “The children and staff at
Littleborough Community Primary School were eager to share their artwork and their positive thoughts with the local community.
“By using my link with the Group Practice and the school we have been able to share the children’s work.
“We are delighted it has had such an impact on the surgery for patients and staff and the children are thrilled by their reaction and their gratitude.”
