We now have enough message leaves on our Discharge Message Tree to feel that it warrants a photo and submission to the forum! This has proved to be a particularly popular and effective intervention, and has been moving and humbling for us all. We felt that we wanted to use the Tree theme as has been used by other people, and worked through ideas about painting a tree on the wall, and had people suggesting and offering, but Rachel saw some tree stickers at IKEA, and we felt that this would be more in keeping with the modern décor and vibe of the ward, so she bought two of them, not knowing how big they would be! In the event they were plenty big enough, and all our patients got involved in sticking these on the walls, and decorating them initially. We have then proceeded to place a leaf into the Leaving Pack that patients have when they leave the ward, which includes their feedback questionnaire and so on. The plan is to change the colours of the leaves to represent the seasonal changes, and during the summer, we will put flowers and butterflies on the tree as well!. All patients who have left the ward have written their thoughts and messages on the leaves, and they have been returned to the ward, to be put on the tree - some completing it before leaving, others sending it back from their current ward. These messages have been moving, showing the progress that people make from admission, when they are in quite a dark place, to moving on from the PICU, either home, or to an open ward, and showing insight into their recovery, and the messages they leave for other clients are really powerful. Rachel bought two tree stickers, and while we placed the Discharge Message tree in the corridor for all patients and visitors to pass, the other tree is in the therapy/dining room. Visitors - particularly other professionals - have asked if they can put a message on the tree, so we're using the second tree for this purpose. Word has got around about the Discharge Message Tree, and people are coming from far and wide to see it! Llinos is the champion for this intervention, but more than any other, this intervention has got lots of people involved!
