Lessons from One Year of Gaming in a Children’s Hospital

a talk by Steven Mair
Been and gone!
This talk was shown at GIGF 2025.

Imagine a job where you check in, play games with those who need an escape from life’s circumstances, and leave with the world in a slightly better place. In July 2024, Steven was made the first Gamer in Residence at a children’s hospital in the UK, a position made possible by indie games in Scotland. Hear how this programme has developed from dream to reality and why gaming is so important to children in the hospital. Straight from the gamer himself.
