• Gaming in Hospitals: How Video Games Help With Healing - Footnote #9 ft. Steven Mair

  We all know children love games and toys: they're fun and give them a creative outlet for their imagination. But did you know video games can be priceless in hospitals too? For this episode, I spent some time with Gamer-in-Residence Steven Mair from the Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, digging into why games matter to children and how crucial they can be in a hospital environment. A really heartwarming one.
