A hospital in Kent welcomed a visit from a miniature pony this week, as part of an ongoing drive to use animal therapy to boost patient recovery and experience. Therapy pony George, a four-year-old Miniature Shetland, trotted into Medway NHS Foundation Trust’s Sheppey Frailty Unit - much to the delight of patients and staff. ‘’For most patients, it is something new and different - therapy animals like George can help to improve people’s well-being and mental health,” owner Michelle Burney said. “It was lovely to see the sheer joy on their faces when we walked in.” George represents the Faversham-based organisation George And Friends Animal Therapies, run by Ms Burney, a former NHS worker.
