Playright Children’s Play Association provides young patients in Princess Margaret Hospital, Caritas Medical Centre, Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital, Tseung Kwan O Hospital and Prince of Wales Hospital with therapeutic play services that help them and their families deal with illness and medical treatments. Our hospital play services include:
Preparation Play – We prepare children psychologically for upcoming medical procedures and treatments, including operations, CT scans, and lumbar punctures, among many others.
Distraction Play – We help children cope with pain and anxiety during medical procedures by distracting them with interesting play and toys.
Medical Play – Through play that is explicitly centered on diagnostic and treatment procedures, we provide children with opportunities to become familiar with these procedures and understand what they are all about. Such play also gives children the chance to ask questions and express their feelings about what is happening to them.
Development Play – Children in hospital, particularly those who are there for a long time, need appropriate play for optimum psychological health and development.
