We were delighted to be invited to two events at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth recently. First we took part in a staff wellbeing event to mark World Health Day, and had a very busy day talking to a wide range of hospital staff browsing the stalls. The children’s books published by the Sanity Company proved particularly popular, and we were able to promote our Human Library event which took place the following week.

We brought the Hampshire Human Library to the main entrance of Queen Alexandra Hospital thanks to an invitation from the Patient Experience team. This was a great opportunity to engage with staff, patients and relatives and challenge stigma through the power of one to one conversations.
