Coronavirus precautions
We have taken the difficult decision to suspend delivery of our quarterly poetry card to doctors waiting rooms during the coronavirus pandemic. Patients in waiting rooms are our first concern, and we want to do our bit to keep NHS waiting rooms free from possible sources of cross-infection.

Poems in the Waiting Room makes available short free collections of poems as cards for patients to read while waiting to see their doctor, and to take away with them. There is no charge to the patient or to the NHS.
We publish both well-known and new poetry, approved by a practicing psychotherapist to promote well-being. The pocket sized cards are distributed four times each year in bundles of twenty. Each card provides some seven or eight poems.
