Poems in the Waiting Room (PitWR) is an Arts in Health charity, registered in the U.K.. We supply short 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. The poetry cards are sized to make them easy to display or to fit in a pocket. The cards are distributed four times each year in bundles of twenty. Each card provides some seven or eight poems.
