Animal Therapy To Assist Patient Recovery

 The Animal-Assisted Recovery Care (AARC) programme, a multi-agency initiative, is being piloted primarily through the Bustamante Hospital for Children in St Andrew. The programme aims to create a standard feature of providing therapy to patients to include other hospitals and age groups, it will also introduce the principles around the humane treatment of animals and promote them as good companions. Dr Marsha James, Consultant Ear, Nose & Throat Surgeon, Bustamante Hospital for Children, Tammy Browne, Director – Montego Bay Animal Haven and Dr Teddy Barnes, Lead Animal Ambassador joined us on Sunrise to share more about the programme.
