Mindful Moments
In collaboration with the ICU follow up clinic, Mindful Moments is a free six-month creative postal project for people who have recieved care on intensive care wards.
Each month a different box is posted directly to receivers, containing a variety of creative activities and materials.
The boxes serve as a reminder to put time aside for yourself to check in, learn and develop skills, share and connect with others and your surroundings.
'It is like receiving a present ... it is nice to be thought about'
'It helped to keep my mind occupied'
'It gave me quality time with my 8 year old daughter ... it was something to do together'
Recipes for you, by you
In collaboration with Renal Dietitians, Recipes for you, by you is a project which invites people who access renal care services to share favourite, tried and tested recipes. Recipes were collected from patients who access renal care services across Imperial College Healthcare Trust. The project resulted in the sharing of different cuisines and cultures as well as helping to expand upon meal ideas through the distribution of printed recipe cards.
Those on a renal diet need to carefully monitor food consumption particularly in relation to salt, sodium, phosphorus, protein and potassium.
Please note if you are following a renal diet:
Every person’s body is different, and therefore, it is crucial that every person accessing renal care services works with a renal dietician to come up with a diet that is tailored to the person’s needs. As a result you may need to adapt the recipes to suit you.
If you have a recipe which you would like to share to be included in the pack please email: [email protected]
