My baby brother Paddington passed his Pets As Therapy assessment this week. Once all his paperwork is sorted, he’ll be a new member of the PAT (and hopefully RMCHosp ) family. I’m not retiring yet but am ready to give a few shifts to a young ‘un!! 🐾💙🐾Good Boy, Paddington!

My baby brother Paddington received his official Pets As Therapy certificate and ID in the post today! RMCHosp MFT NHS watch out for a new pup on the block coming soon (and I’ll still be coming in too - I’ve observed that people in the NHS don’t really retire 😉) 🐾🌟🐾

I made a TikTok to teach Paddington about being a therapy dog! Permission to share images ✅ Pets As Therapy

We had a visit today from Paddington today who is a wonderful Pets As Therapy dog, providing some therapy for our staff in the office!

Children who may be fearful of an operation or medical procedure get distracted by a comforting four-legged friend, which allows concerned parents to relax a little too. Please consider donating to #PetsAsTherapy here petsastherapy.enthuse.com/donate#!/ 💛🐾THANK YOU! Alfie

It was Paddington’s turn to visit RMCHosp today. He had a great time - cuddles , a snooze, and squidging up for snuggles. Hibiscrubbed and shiny as ever, and with clean towels for every cuddle - being meticulous about IPC means we can keep visiting 🦮 Pets As Therapy MFT NHS

The happiest boy today! Paddington enjoyed a warm welcome RMCHosp Critical Care and Ward 84. Lots of staff and patient cuddles and wall-to-wall smiles Pets As Therapy MFT NHS

Day 4! This is Benjamin! Ben is always sure to make the nurses laugh with his funny questions or demands! Benj really misses his dog Ralphie when he’s in hospital but luckily today he got a little visitor which brightened up a gloomy Wednesday! #gogold

Paddington was honoured to present an award at the RMCHosp ceremony last night, what a great evening MFT NHS

After 8.5 years as a therapy dog with Pets As Therapy and 7.5 years RMCHosp, it’s nearly time for me to retire! My last visit will be 30th Oct (also in on 18th Sept), just before my 10th birthday! I hope to see lots of you to say farewell in person MFT NHS #family
