Branches of Brave Tree Glasgow Royal Hospital

Lodged by Annie Wells Standard Motion 25 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the play team staff at Glasgow Royal Hospital, which has introduced a special tree to help children feel calm during cancer treatment; understands that the tree has brave branches that allow children and their families to add their handprints or anything else that is special to them as leaves; further understands that while the play team is associated with making sure children can have fun while having treatment, it also educates children about their illness in a way that they can understand and provides support for families, and notes that the branches of brave idea was created by Emma McWilliam, a health play assistant in the Royal Hospital for Children's (RHC) paediatric intensive care unit, and that it is hoped that the branches of brave tree will demonstrate to children that it is okay to be scared and share their feelings.
