Gerda's Escaperoom

Features
Read full description

Hiermee speel je Gerda's Escape Room: Het is een drukke en chaotische dag in het ziekenhuis waarop de ambulances af en aan blijven rijden. Eén van deze patiënten is Gerda, een oudere vrouw die thuis is gevallen en vermoedelijk een gebroken heup heeft. Gerda heeft pijn en heeft snel zorg nodig, maar het is van groot belang haar beter te begrijpen om de juiste keuzes te kunnen maken. Dit bootsen we na door de spelers de meegenomen spullen te laten bekijken en in gesprek te gaan met mensen de sociale kring van Gerda. Op deze manier laat Gerda’s Escape Room verpleegkundigen en zorgmedewerkers ervaren waarom wat het belang van persoonsgerichte zorg zo belangrijk en waardevol is, op een laagdrempelige manier en in de dagelijkse werkomgeving.
