All School of Clinical Medicine HR courses

School of Clinical Medicine Employees are invited to attend a 20 minute massage by Lucy Hall Massage.

Seated Massage, or ‘chair massage’, is performed while you are seated in a specially designed massage chair. The massage chair is designed for you to rest slightly forward with your arms and legs supported. It also has a face cradle to support your head.

In the 20 minute massages we do Swedish massage including; Head, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, lower & middle back, and glutes. Your massage therapist Katerina will work your muscles and knots through your clothes and adapt the massage to exactly what the customer needs or wants.

Come and spend time with some well trained dogs. Pets as Therapy (PAT) is a national charity founded in 1983 whose vision is to ensure that everyone in the UK, no matter what their circumstances, has access to the companionship of a friendly pet.

A few dedicated volunteers from the charity will be bringing along their temperament assessed pets for you to stroke, pet and spend time with.

Therapeutic visits by PAT Teams can bring comfort and companionship, stimulate conversation, encourage movement and social interaction and help improve mental health and wellbeing. They can also help to reduce stress levels.

The Plant Swap is the perfect event for new or experienced plant lovers. Bring along your own healthy houseplants, succulents, cactus plants, seedlings, surplus seeds and shrubs to swap with colleagues.

Whether you have a flower pot, a balcony, a small garden, a large garden, a community garden, a school garden, space in your living room, bedroom, kitchen or bathroom, or even your office at work, or just an interest in finding out more, come along - we'll be here to swap and chat!

Rules:

1. Bring a pest-free beautiful plant for trade

2. They can be potted or bare root, as long as you're prepared to part with them. Labelling your plant is useful

Yoga with Daisy Worzencraft is primarily about having fun, giving things a go, and trying - with a sense of humour and a smile on your face! It's a non competitive practice, with modifications for different levels. All she asks is that you try, and that you practice with a sense of pleasure and enjoyment, rather than expectation, frustration and tension.

For Daisy, Yoga has been a consistent friend in her life - especially in times of need - and had nothing to do with perfecting poses!
