    Multi-faith chaplain, Kevin Place has visited wards across the county's hospitals playing his guitar, encouraging patients and staff to dance and sing along. If a patient is bed-bound while in hospital then it can lead to Hospital Associated Deconditioning (HAD), the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) said. So, it's hoped the new 'Music + Move' programme, that was launched in December last year, can help prevent the decline of mobility and improve muscle strength of patients.
