Romford and Ilford doctors and nurses had the opportunity to meet police horses and a wellbeing dog as thanks for their hard work over the past year.
As part of Thank You Week organised by Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT), Queen’s and King George hospital staff were invited to pet horses Verdun and Ulls Water, and wellbeing dog Dexter.
Organisers from the trust’s wellbeing team Amelia Darling and Katie Winstanley explained the pet therapy was provided for free by the Metropolitan Police’s East Area Basic Command Unit (BCU).
